Installation failed/ no server connection

emsic · 12. März 2015

Tried to install OMV like I have done several times before, always without any problem, but today I spend several hours without any luck.
When it comes to ask for server, I got no connection, even I tried all servers of the world.

I tried then the way to install Debian first, which worked, but for beginners the described way is difficult because after

Code

apt-get install openmediavault

you get various questions about postfix and Raid, where I do not really know what to do. Could anybody please add this?
OMV started now on my system and I will see, if it works.

Select all the defaults and it should install fine. OMV overwrites most of them anyway.

Ok thanks. May this should be mentioned in this workaround?

Any idea, why there was no server connection?

Was it your first try on that specific setup?

I had similar problem the first time I installed the iso. Installation got stucked when trying to select a mirror.
Turned out that my onboard ethernet controller was not supported as-is by Debian, even if it was correctly detected during the first steps.
My workaround was to install a cheap pcie ethernet card.

I guess we could. You are the first to ask though

Your network card is too new and not detected by the installer.

@ryecoaaron & Balzac

I have changed my system HDD to a new one. That was the reason I installed OMV from scratch. I had installed OMV on this machine 2-3 times before, without any problem.

I doubt a little, because this is a used HP N40L, few years old.

When I installed OMV on an n40L I got a similar problem with network, turned out to be a loose cable.
One idea is to check that the light is going green on the router/n40L during OMV install

I can confirm the broadcom tg3 driver for the GbE Lan is available by default in OMV.
