[CentOS] Problems Formatting /boot With CentOS 4.3 on a DL360 G3
I have been trying to install CentOS 4.3 on an HP DL360 G3 (with dual Xeon 3.2 GHz, a Smart Array 5i, and two 36 GB disks doing RAID 1 mirroring). I''m doing all defaults (including the disk and LVM setup) and using the "Minimal" checkbox at the bottom of the Custom machine type package selection screen, so it''s a very "vanilla" install. It zips through the "Formatting / file system..." just fine in a couple of seconds. When it gets to "Formatting the /boot file system..." it quickly moves up to about 90-95% complete, and then it totally locks up... the mouse quits moving, the animated cursor locks up... everything. I even left it overnight just to be sure and still the same. But, when I stick in a CentOS 4.2 CD, it runs fine. Also, I ran a media check on the 4.3 CD and it checks out fine. Any ideas? Thanks! HKC

I''m having the exact same problem on a DL360 G3 as well with CentOS 4.3. <hkclark@...> writes:>When it gets to "Formatting the /boot file system..." it > quickly moves up to about 90-95% complete, and then it totally locks > up... the mouse quits moving, the animated cursor locks up... > everything.
