Well, kinda got Gir working last night. Got Debian installed, and finally to the point where I could ssh in (so I could at least mess around from upstairs with the lappy while watching Lizzie).
The SCSI drive that I wanted to get the data off of is there, but complains when I try to mount it. Fsck complains when I try to repair it, so the contents may be pooched. I copied the device contents to file, at least, so I can mess around a bit to see if it's repairable before I totally wipe the drive down.
That said, I'm not sure the machine is stable -- my login from the lappy was disconnected this morning, and wouldn't reconnect (but I only had a minute to try before running out the door), so I'm not sure what's up with that. The machine was still on, so I'm not sure what happened. The CPU fan was barely turning, so if I want to turn Gir into the new web server, I'll probably have to replace that, at least. We'll see what happens -- I don't have oodles of time to spend on it, and it might just be easier to plunk down a hundred or two buck for some old off-lease machine that is way beefier.
