Errno 28: no space left on device
and stops there during the boot process. I don't know what Linux it is running, but it is older. It's boot menu is one of those red ones. Return = reboot, arrow keys to navigate, enter to execute.
I've tried two different IDE CD-ROM drives, both IDE ports, all three of slave/master/neither pins, both slave/master ports on the IDE ribbon.. and a simple PCI card with a couple SATA ports and an IDE port... in the slot before AND after the SCSI RAID card
And it still won't pickup the CD-ROM drives. In BIOS, "CD-ROM" is the first boot device, "USB-CDROM" the second, and "HDD-0" the third (I don't think HDD-0 means anything useful). This is a Socket A motherboard. This does not have an F12/F10/ESC boot menu to select a device to boot from. I now wasted $7 on a pack of CD-R's and can't boot the old Linux server that runs AD and hosts the shared network drives because I shut the machine down with 100% used diskspace.
And since it's a RAID, there's nothing I can do about it.
I don't have any flash drives, and I doubt it would event boot off a flash drive as old as it is.
I feel like cursing, screaming, and crying. Just want to go home. There was just a few simple things to do.. and it would be simple, but nooo... something just ALWAYS has to pin me down. I hate IT, I hate computers, I hate technology.
