Title: Continuous Restart After Fresh Install
Post by: kropek on June 19, 2013, 03:29:04 AM

Hello,

I just completed a new install of sme server 8,0. The install went smoothly and I encountered no errors in the process.

However, after installing and rebooting, my new server does not complete the boot process- it simply restarts over and over.

I previously had another linux system installed on this system, so I don't suspect it's a hardware issue.

I'm not terribly knowledgeable of the boot process, can anyone recommend how best to troubleshoot this issue?

Reusing a HD has been known to have issues on occasion, see HERE (http://wiki.contribs.org/Raid#Reusing_Hard_Drives) for details on how to zero the drive.

Anything which doesn't work correctly should be reported via the bug tracker.
