Dear All, I'm trying to install Centos 4.2 x86_64 on a new Opteron server, using a software raid 1 boot partition. Here is the appropriate section of my kickstart.cfg #System bootloader configuration bootloader --location=mbr #Clear the Master Boot Record zerombr yes #Partition clearing information clearpart --all --initlabel #Disk partitioning information part raid.01 --size 50000

I'm going to guess that there are no IDE drives that have 4096 byte physical sectors, but it's worth confirming you don't have such a drive because the current partition scheme you've posted would be sub-optimal if it does have 4096

doing that grub-install /dev/sda will give me the "corresponding BIOS device" error. But now I fixed it by doing a manual grub install. first boot with cd1 and type linux rescue at the prompt when you're at the linux prompt after detecting and mounting the partitions, do a "chroot /mnt/sysimage" then # grub --batch #grub> root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs,

HI, I always get a grub prompt ,after I installed 2nd processor to the Server IBM x3610 At the grub prompt, I always have to issue below commands.

I have a virtual machine that had been running fine using a RAW disk image (IDE). I am in the process of converting this virtual machine to use a single LVM and virtio. (For LVM backup snapshots and easy resizing purposes (no LVM within the guest)) I create the LVM and copied all the files from the existing RAW image to an ext3 under the LVM. However, I cannot get it to boot. It has to do

Hello Xen-users, I am trying to load two executables into a single VM at different addresses. The goal is to pass control to the first executable, which will treat the second executable as data. Can PV-Grub be used to accomplish this? I suspect ordinary Grub should be able to do this, outside of Xen, with a configuration like this: menu.lst: title a multiboot test root (hd0,0)

Hey guys, what I am trying to do is a chainload into grub2 installation in a DomU. So far I determined, PV-GRUB does not understand grub2''s grub.cfg notation. So I created a dummy menu.lst which has the needed root kernel and initrd rows and then referenced this to the DomUs config. The main intention to do this, is to be able to use kernel upgrades without touching the menu.lst for

Here is the initial release: git://github.com/donhiatt/Syslinux-EXT2FS-Library-port.git I am very new to git so I hope I managed to get the repo setup properly. The repo is branched from 'disklib' as I plan to use it for all disk read/write access (I'm currently using modified gpllib/disk/* -- see README).

Good evening all, I''ve all but finished installing Xen 2.0.5, XenLinux 2.6.10 and Debian GNU/Linux 3.0r4 into /boot on a colo box currently (and temporarily) running CentOS. I''ve chrooted into the debian install (chroot /boot /bin/bash) and was able to set everything up, install requisite packages, install xen, etc. Now I''m at the last step and I''ve run into

I am trying to upgrade my system from 500GB drives to 1TB. I was able to partition and sync the raid devices, but I cannot get the new drive to boot. This is an old system with only IDE ports. There is an added Highpoint raid card which is used only for the two extra IDE ports. I have upgraded it with a 1TB SATA drive and an IDE-SATA adapter. I did not have any problems with the system

I am working with multiboot module "mboot.c32". I have had luck using it to boot NetBSD and the Hurd kernel. The problem with booting the Hurd kernel is apparently connected to the extended syntax passed along to it by grub. Grub passes Hurd kernel approximately 4 files, some of which are modules, and another ten (or so) boot arguments, which correspond to those modules and kernel. The

Hi, I noticed that mount_ext2 isn't "connected" to the normal "buildworld" but sys/*/ext2fs seems to. Building and using it from recent RELENG_7 sources works for me (having ext2fs loaded as module in GENERIC). I mounted an ext3 rw, edited grub's menu.lst, wrote and umounted without any problems. It seems recent bugs got pathched in January

Hello, I have a question about device number extension in "e2fsprogs-1.35". In Linux kernel 2.6, device number is extended from 16-bit to 32-bit. All utilities and libraries should make corresponding extension for this new feature in kernel 2.6. Following operation defines type "kdev_t" as "unsigned short" type, thus the device number has only 16-bit. In file

We created symlinks in two steps, by creating the empty inode and then calling ext2fs_symlink to populate it. This created broken symlinks where the directory name contained a / character, eg: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Nov 26 08:43 /bin -> usr/bin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Nov 26 08:43 /lib -> usr/lib lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Nov 26 08:43 /lib64 -> usr/lib64 lrwxrwxrwx 1
