Hi All,
I have a HP Proliant DL 380p G8 server that supports SD cards and flash drives directly onto the mother board. I am trying to load RouterOS as the operation system on the SD card as I do not need any storage and to use hdd’s will be a waste!
I have tested the SD card and card slot and loaded a simple linux OS from disk and this works 100%
When trying to load RouterOS 5.26 as well as 6.6 from disk, I receive the error “no harddrive found”
I installed to the SD card using MikroTik Netinstall 5.26 from a Windows 7 machine, when booting in the HP DL, I get the “fatal error - No packages found” (same for RouterOS 5.26 and 6.6)
Anyone have any ideas as to what to try or what I am doing wrong?
Let me know if there is any information you need?
Regards,
Hi,
I have not tried that before but will give it a shot at.
My guess is the SD card partition format.
Try to format the SD Card
DISKPART (Windows)
Start a command prompt, and start the DISKPART console. List all of your disks by typing LIST DISK, then select the proper disk with SELECT DISK # (where # is obviously the SD card). You can then type CLEAN (MAKE SURE YOU SELECTED THE PROPER DISK!), and it will clear the partition table on the card.
To create a primary partition to reuse the space on the card, type CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY. This will then reallocate the previously “cleaned” space.
To format, type FORMAT FS=FAT32 QUICK, and finally, to reassign a drive letter, type ASSIGN.
If you’re unable to determine the proper disk, remove the SD card, run DISKPART and LIST DISK, and then re-run it with the SD card inserted. The SD card is just the disk that has been added.
Hope this helps
Thanks for the help, I will try that now.
But once formatted, should I re install from Netinstall or from the disk?
This made no change when installing from the disk or using Netinstall. I didnt think it was a partition problem as I was able to load linux 100% fine?
