Hi all, I've got a bit of an issue with reinstalling a server. I can get the installer to boot off a memory stick made with unetbootin, but I can't seem to find the installation files on the stick. I have hda, sda and sdb but none are acceptable install media. How do I mount the USB stick while in the installer to install off it? DVD isn't an option because it's been

I recently acquired a Fujitsu Lifebook 1610. Unfortunately, the machine was missing a lot of the stuff that would've come with it brand new, mainly the usb cdrom drive. Currently, I'm running Fedora on it, and I installed it using a usb flash drive with the help of a program called unetbootin(Probably not spelled right). to load the ISO onto the USB drive. I've successfully used

I am having difficulty trying to figure out how to get a computer to boot from it's local disk automatically after the pxe menu times out. I installed syslinux-3.11-4 with yum onto CentOS 5.5 It boots to the local disk if I select Local from the menu and press enter but it never times out and boots localy. The AUTOBOOT message doesn't appear either. Which instructions in the PXELINUX

Hi Everybody, I made R (v. 2.11.1) from source with the following config option: ./configure --prefix=/mnt/ami-centos5.5-64bit-base \ --exec-prefix=/mnt/ami-centos5.5-64bit-base \ --with-tcltk All seemed to go well, but when I tested it with: /usr/sbin/chroot /mnt/ami-centos5.5-64bit-base R It told me: /bin/R: line 217:

I would like to boot Ubuntu 8.04 i386 from my USB flash drive. I was guided by this tutorial: http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/HowTos#How_to_Create_a_Bootable_USB:_For_Linux I took following steps: 1) made sure that usb_storage.ko kernel module is loaded root at martin-desktop:~# lsmod | grep -i storage usb_storage 39585 1 root at martin-desktop:~# 2) inserted USB flash

During installation of CentOS5.3 from DVD, the installation was interuppted due to an error in a rpm package as the DVD had lot of scratches. So I burned image of CentOS5.5 on DVD.

Two more observations: (adding to my previous below email) 1) Centos 5.6 also showing the same ACPI errors as in CentOS 5.5 2)BIOS-E820 map has a difference in the first line: (0000000000010000 instead of 0000000000000000) ================================ - Centos-5.3 BIOS-E820 memory map is: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009e000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000009e000 - 00000000000a0000

I am working in Centos5.5. Pen drive, hard disk, cd are not being recognised. During booting, "mounting local filesystems [failed]" is displayed among other errors which I am unable to see as the messages proceed fast. Are these messages stored in some file, so that I can check them and report all the errors that are displayed during booting. -------------- next part -------------- An

Hi, I am trying to run solaris 10 (9/10) on Xen 3.4 (centos5.5 as dom0) in HVM mode. I can see the realtek 8139 network adapters when I do pciscan but ''ifconfig -a'' just lists loopback device. I can load rtls drivers but still these realtek interfaces are not available. I found a link which does say The rtls driver from Realtek still uses version 0 interfaces that are now

Want to install CentOS 5.5 by burning the image on DVD. On the link: http://mirrors.hns.net.in/centos/5.5/isos/x86_64/, there is a list given. CentOS-5.5-x86 64-bin-DVD.torrent is in the list. So is the download of the .iso possible only through torrent? There is CentOS-5.5-x86 64-netinstall.iso Is this also an .iso which one can download to install CentOS5.5? -------------- next part

I'm currently testing a process very similar to that found here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey And would like to update that doc with my observations once confirmed. Preliminary notes (not all relevant to that specific WikiPage - suggestions for where to put the non-kickstart info?

I'm having problems installing CentOS via a USB drive. First, I tried using Unetbootin, but with no avail. The 8MB netinstall doesn't work, and the big DVD image doesn't work either. http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html Then I tried this http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-centos-5-live-install-via-windows/ with a CentOS DVD file, and that did not work (just hangs). I tried

HI, I tried to build my own liveCD on USB-device. I've formatted my usb-stick: # mkdosfs -F 32 -n usbdisk /dev/sda1 Then I copied the iso-image to my stick: # livecd-iso-to-disk CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD.iso /dev/sda1 After that I tried to boot with that new device: # qemu -hda /dev/sda -m 256 But, then I become this error-message: "Initial menu has no LABEL entries!"

I've just filed bug 0004634. Grub won't install onto my pata drive now that I have a sata drive installed. This is grub 0.97 on CentOS5.5. Has anyone else encountered this? I'm guessing that I can always install Fedora on hda, which should give me a working grub, but I was hoping for something a little less involved. Thanks, Dave Mackay
