similar to: CentOS 7 installer bug?

Hi all! I'm still on C6. I'm using a RAID1 configuration (Linux software RAID) and I'd like to either use the same one, or possibly configure it on new drives (larger) when I upgrade to C7. (I'm really feeling the need to move off C6.) But it isn't at all obvious how one would do a new RAID1 setup in Anaconda, and I don't find any user reports or other info on this in the

Hi, One of my clients has a mixed Linux/Mac OS/Windows environment in his office. He just purchased a 4 TB external hard disk, which he intends to use on his various workstations. Up until recently, I've been using plain old MBR/FAT for hard disks in mixed environments. Fire up fdisk, make one big 0b type partition, and then format it using mkdosfs. Unfortunately, there's a 2 TB limit

Has anybody encountered this problem? I have a box that has FC2 installed. I wanted to trash the FC2 installation and install CentOS 4. I have a pxeboot/dhcp/kickstart environment and so I tried automatic disk partitioning (clear all partitions and then create new ones), manual disk partitioning but everything else is automated and finally, zero automation, just a manual installation through

How can I use fdisk to partition when installing CentOS4 instead of using 'auto' or disk-druid I want to make RAID 'fd' type partitions for hda and hdc I tried every ctrl-alt Fx and can't get to a shell TIA Gerald

Hi! I'm using Virtualbox 3.08, have several other VMs in it, but cannot boot the Centos 5.4 (i386) DVD far enough to even reach Anaconda... I've tried all the various virtualbox and boot options I can think of and it always sticks in the same place: NetLabel: unlabeled traffic allowed by default NET: Registered protocol family 2 and there it hangs. I've left it for several

Hi all, I've installed CentOS 4.4 in a box which previously had dual boot (XP SP2 and Ubuntu) I can run CentOS without problem but I can't boot XP SP2. When I try it the system simply hangs...

Hi folks, Has anyone experienced install problems with CentOS 4. More precisely anaconda crashing with some remarks regarding python scripts. The funny thing is the first installation went well. It's the re-install that fails. Although I completely changed partitioning and reformatted the drive. I had the same problem with fedora core 3 some time ago. To me it looks as if it's

Hi list, I am trying to install FreeBSD 9.1-Release amd64 on a Supermicro server: SuperStorage Server 6027R-E1R12N with Intel Xeon E5-2640 CPU and 32 GB (4 x 8 ) KVR16R11D4/8HC installed Currently I have only 2 SSD Kingston drives (working in mirror) installed on that server. during booting installer from the ISO CD (amd64), the boot process fails with message: Mounting from

I am building a mailserver and with all the steps, I want to image the drive at various 'checkpoints' so I can go back and redo from a particular point.

As I understand anaconda uses parted to partition (starting from centos 6), using this as example (kickstart configuration file): clearpart --all --drives=sda --initlabel part /boot --asprimary --size=200 --fstype=ext2 --ondisk=sda part swap --asprimary --size=16384 --fstype=swap --ondisk=sda part / --asprimary --size=512000 --fstype=ext4 --ondisk=sda part /scratch --asprimary --size=1 --grow

Hello List, i try to install Centos 6 on a Server with 2x 3TB Disks. When anaconda is showing up the disk partitioner i cant do more then 3 "normal Partitions" or more then 3 "Raid Partitions". Even when u choose that each partition is 200mb, u cant do more then 3 "normal" or "raid" partitions. is this a bug of anaconda installer? thanks marko

Hi all, As a disclaimer, I'm new to this list and very green administering CentOS. I run it on my test servers and do very basic networking and server administration (most users, permissions, and web app stuff). I have a backup server that I am using rsync to collect important in-process file for our digital library from both Windows and Linux servers, as well as a specific applications

I used Hiren Boot CD (Some tool on it) to create 8 partitions for Windows XP and CentOS 6. Now, CentOS6 Disk Utility reports for first partition: "Warning: The partition is misaligned by 512 bytes. This may result in very poor performances. Repartitioning is suggested.", and similar warnings almost all other partitions. Since I already have both Windows (NTFS) and CentOS 6

Hi, I have a custom linux system that runs off a FAT32 usb flash disk. I use syslinux to make it bootable and load the kernel. I'm trying to boot now from a SSD SATA disk (500GB) but it's not working and I can't figure out why. BIOS show that no bootable disk were found. What I already tried (linux fdisk): 1- Creating a new DOS partition table on the SSD, a FAT32 (type b), and

Hi, I am creating CentOS install usb keys and, apart from a few problems, it mostly works... 1. OT: My server HP does not seem to want to boot on it if I set the write protection on. 2. Anaconda tries to fetch the ks.cfg too early... It detects sda, then detects the RAID adapter, then re-detects sda with a "waiting for device to settle before scanning". Anaconda tries to access
