I'm really at a loss. I had 5.11 running on this machine, from this physical boot disk, until I stepped on /bin the other day. I've tried installing Centos 5.10 and 5.11 to this Seagate 1TB drive. Both installs run perfectly, but when I try to reboot, grub says Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xee googling this indicates that the disk has a GUID partition table. This must have been done by the installer??? If so, why doesn't it get the boot loader set up correctly? Sigh, So stage two of the saga, I thought I would try to install CentOS 6.5 (I had the dvds burned already). It boots, but claims the install image is corrupt. I re-downloaded CentOS 6.6, verified the checksums and burned a new dvd set. it boots, but when I test the media, it says the same thing (install image has errors). If I try to skip media checks, it just ejects the disk and says insert the CentOS disk. I burned a new set of disks, identical behavior. I downloaded from a completely different mirror, validated checksums and burned new disks. I get identical behavior. I'm not sure what to do next, but I need to get this machine back up and running. I'm thinking of getting a different boot disk to install 5.11 to. I have no idea why CentOS 6.6 refuses to install. -chuck --

You *could* try rewriting the partition table and see if that helps. mark, who friggin' nixspam is blocking from posting again to the list

Might be the making sure cables, memory, etc. are all well-seated?> > -chuck > <snip>HTH, Bill
try creating small /boot partition for kernel and then rest of disk for lvm.. -- Eero 2015-04-10 22:01 GMT+03:00 <m.roth at 5-cent.us>:> Chuck Campbell wrote: > > I'm really at a loss. > > I had 5.11 running on this machine, from this physical boot disk, until I > > stepped on /bin the other day. > > > > I've tried installing Centos 5.10 and 5.11 to this Seagate 1TB drive. > Both > > installs run perfectly, but when I try to reboot, grub says > > Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xee > > > > googling this indicates that the disk has a GUID partition table.
