hi,
i'm used to manual partition and format disks before
installing the O.S. but with centos 5 this results in
an unbootable system. Usually, to manual partition the
disks I use the installation disk in recovery mode..
The partition schema I choose was:
/dev/sda1 /boot
/dev/sda2 swap
/dev/sda3 LVM PV
inside the LVM VG I created the following LV
/
/var
/home
/tmp
Then I formatted all the partitions with ext3 (doing
some tuning on ext3 parameters)
After I had partitioned and formatted the disk I
booted from the installation CD and I installed centos
5 without any error. The installed system was not able
to boot at all , the boot process ends with a kernel
panic when trying to mount the root partition.
On the same hardware Itryed to install centos 5
choosing the deafult auto partition option and the
resulting system was ok.
What's wrong ? What did i miss ?
Thank you in advance
Marco
