Hello, Please can anyone help with the problem below when trying to install CentOS 7.6 on an IBM x3500 M3 from DVD or USB. CentOS 7.5 installs perfectly with no errors. CentOS 7.6 tries to boot, an error is output briefly and the workstation powers down. CentOS 7.7 displays the error briefly then continues the install with no further errors. I also tried RHEL 7.6 which installs perfectly with no errors. Any ideas? Regards, Mark Woolfson MW Consultancy Ltd Leeds LS18 4LY United Kingdom Tel: +44 113 259 1204 Mob: +44 786 065 2778

Install CentOS-7.5 and then run yum update and reboot. Then on the reboot edit the grub and remove the rhgb and quiet lines from the boot into. This will give you a very lengthy amount of info which could say what is the problem.> CentOS 7.6 tries to boot, an error is output briefly and the workstation powers down. >A help on the error would be useful because it could be a lot of things.> CentOS 7.7 displays the error briefly then continues the install with no further errors. > > I also tried RHEL 7.6 which installs perfectly with no errors. > > Any ideas? > > Regards, > Mark Woolfson > MW Consultancy Ltd > Leeds > LS18 4LY > United Kingdom > Tel: +44 113 259 1204 > Mob: +44 786 065 2778 > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-- Stephen J Smoogen.

See https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=15522 if that matches with what you have. Bug closed as it was fixed with a newer shim pkg, that is also the one used in 7.7 and it doesn't make sense to still deploy 7.6 while you also confirm that it works fine with 7.7 :) -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | twitter: @arrfab -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
