schwick Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Hey, I recently bought a HP gen 8 1610 from Amazon for a pretty cheap price. So far I'm happy with the hardware. However, I'm having a hard time getting the software to run. What I am trying to do is run Archlinux on this miniserver with a raid1 configuration (software wise). However I can't seem to be able to boot while I am sure I followed the configuration steps in the wiki guide. So my question is, do I need to change something on the HP end of the side? I already disabled the raid controller and swapped it to AHCI modus. However I still get no luck. At least I think I did... the bootup shows 4 drives and it says it's loading AHCI. Weird thing is, is that booting up still refers to C: after the HP bootup. Anyone got any experience with Archlinux on the 1610? Booting through USB with archlinux works like a charm. I used syslinux as bootmanager. Thanks in advance! Edited December 16, 2014 by schwick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royco Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Did you assign a drive as bootable from inside Array Configuration Utility (ACU)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royco Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I don't use AHCI, so maybe this is not needed. However, when I was using the B120I RAID mode, I needed to explicitly assign a bootdisk or it would not start the OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
