Does anybody have or know where there are scripts to install AllStar from Debian.
For a setup for a repeater site am using a server computer with two hard drives in a RAID1 configuration so if one is to fail on this 10 year old machine, it will still work.
I was not able to get DIAL installed but was able to get Debian to work.
Thanks

Hi Skyler, this might not be an ideal solution, and you might have
already tried it. In cases like this , I have always found that that
installing the system on a known working system, later DD-ing the disc
image and booting into single user mode and fixing things so that
reflects the new hardware can also be an option. If the kernel versions
are the same, you might even be able to just copy over the kernel
modules required to have the raid working or other issues resolved. Have
you considered this option?
Hope this helps
All the best.

The manual install is not working, and my RAID is not working either.
I plug in the URI and it flashes a few times and then is steady. Radio-tune-menu then does not work. The manual install also made my ethernet stop working so I had to go into a network conf file and add it back.
RAID 1 is not working either. I physically unplug a hard drive and boot it, and I get a bunch of errors.
CentOS plays a l o t better with RAID 1. ACID was previously installed and had no problem with the hardware raid.
Any suggestions of what to try next? I have tried N4IRS’s script as well as W0JRL’s debian install, none of them work. Right now I just disabled RAID and am installing DIAL on one of the disks, but I still want to use both so if one fails at the site.

Hi Skyler,
This isn't Debian's fault. I run various Debian versions across dozens of
servers, -all- of which run various forms of hardware RAID.
I recommend starting with the Debian net-install CD, downloaded from their
website. Once Debian is running, then install Asterisk/AllStar. This isn't
really too hard to do.
Since you mention the box is 10 years old, what kind of hardware and RAID
controller have you got? ...Do you have true hardware RAID? Many
inexpensive RAID solutions weren't truly "hardware" RAID controllers;
rather they were software RAID, requiring special drivers. Most of those
RAID systems should be avoided entirely, IMO, since they didn't tend to be
very reliable.
Take a look at this link:
https://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/
If you have 32-bit x86 hardware, use this net-install image:
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.2.0/i386/iso-cd/debian-8.2.0-i386-netinst.iso
Or, if you've got a 64-bit CPU, try:
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.2.0/amd64/iso-cd/debian-8.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso
NOTE that some RAID controllers and other old hardware doesn't play well
with a 64-bit OS version, even though the CPU is 64-bit capable. To be
safe, going with the 32-bit OS version is probably the simplest path.
Good Luck-

Skyler,
The DIAL installer is built on the current Debian netinstall. If you
choose the second option on the menu it will walk you through a
basic install. You will be able to setup your RAID array if Debian
sees it as a RAID array.
If you do a fresh install from the DIAL installer I would be happy
to login and take a look.

Skyler, only one though/advice if it helps...
If I understand your problem correctly...
While I have not yet tried a install of DIAL,
During the beginning of the OS install,
you should be presented with a option of manual driver install.(options)
Try installing your Raid drivers manually.
You might make sure that the chipset is properly recognized and drivers for it are
loaded. Then try the raid driver. Likely there may be 2 versions w&wo raid.
The raid driver probably will not load without proper chipset interface drivers.
The right driver may even include them.
Just a place to start.

Mike is right. The DIAL installer is built on the Debian 8 netinstall with the "non-free" drivers included. This has helped a number of times when added drivers were needed. I'm going to do a newer version that allows a manual install and then you can start the AllStar installer.

"It just works!"
Since we're on the topic of -hardware- RAID controllers, I thought I'd
point users to a one style of reliable, workhorse RAID board, which is
available for $peanuts$ surplus (ebay). This board is a 3ware 8006-2LP.
They're well supported "out of the box" by all flavors of Linux and
are typically very highly reliable, in my experience. The caveats are that
they are old PCI-bus boards, not too fast by todays standards, and can
only utilize smaller SATA drives....But, they are true hardware RAID 1 and
when installed in older PC's, they work very well for Asterisk/AllStar/PBX
applications. I've still got many of these installed, here and there.
Here is a example board from ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/181788655753
These boards have saved me from HD crash frustration more times than I can
count! ...They also make it really easy to perform a HD image backup by
pulling (they support hot-swap) a running RAID 1 drive and swapping in a
spare. The removed drive then becomes a backup.
