Let me see if I can, um, reboot this thread.... I made a RAID 1 of two raw disks, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, *not* /dev/sdax /dev/sdbx. Then I installed CentOS 7 on the RAID, with /boot, /, and swap being partitions on the RAID. My problem is that grub2-install absolutely and resolutely refuses to install on /dev/sda or /dev/sdb. I've currently got it up in a half-assed rescue mode, and have

Hi, I have a test system that booted fine using "Legacy Bios? mode and using the following Kickstart snippet configured the disks correctly:- # Clear the Master Boot Record zerombr # Partition clearing information clearpart --all --initlabel # Disk partitioning information part raid.01 --fstype="raid" --ondisk=sda --size=500 part raid.02 --fstype="raid" --grow

Is it possible to install CentOS 5 with a degraded RAID 1 array using kickstart? I have the kickstart file already created but the "server" I want to use only has 1 hard drive in it at the moment. Until I can order a 2nd drive, I wanted to install the OS then once I received the replacement drive "fix" the array. I have seen instructions how to do this manually, but so far have

In the disk partitioner, I can't 1) choose to make the LVM with root and swap be on a RAID 1. Is there some way to do that, rather than two separate partitions RAIDed? 2) They don't align, so I can't clone /dev/sda to /dev/sdb as a failover (for /boot and /boot/efi). I've created those two, manually, and nope, it wiped them out, so I can't clone

I've been doing a CentOS 7.6.1810 net-install since last night. The machine seems ok but has been stuck with "performing post-installation setup tasks" for hours. This is an old Dell T5400 box, so it isn't blazing fast but ... Is there a way to pull up its skirt (so to speak) and check/monitor the installation activity while installing it? Having already started the

I was just wondering how (or indeed if) people use the %include directive in Kickstart configuration files when building systems via NFS. I've been trying to modularise our Kickstart files a little to make things more readable, having generic defaults and role specific stuff split out into separate configs. I've tried this configuration... [root at archive kickstart]# cat

I installed a CentOS-5 core OS (using --nobase in my kickstart). For some reason, it included mysql-5.0.22. When I do "yum remove mysql", it says it will also remove exim and mdadm for dependencies. I don't care that exim will be removed, but I need mdadm as I'm doing software RAID. But why are these even related? When I do: rpm -q --requires mysql neither exim or mdadm is

Got all the way through the selection of packages. All those time consuming tasks and the install got to formating the drive and crashed on a format error! Since I know exactly how I want to lay out the partitions, is there a way I can boot from CD, and get into Disk Druid to set the partitions and do the formating. Then when I come to the install just select to keep the drive how it is?

[merging] The HBA the drives are attached to has no configuration that I?m aware of. We would have had to accidentally change 23 of them ?

The other admin I work with seems to have found a bug in the installer. The setup is: two internal SSD drives. Once the GUI gets to "select drive to install on", he goes to <ctl><alt><f2>, creates a RAID 1, and partitions it, regular MBR (they're small). 1G for /boot as the first partition, 2G for swap as the second partition, and the rest for / as partition 3.

Hi All, I'm trying to figure out where the inittab is for a pxeboot/kickstart installation so that I can disable virtual terminals that allow for interactive input such as CTRL+ALT+F2. I've looked in the /etc directories for the pxeboot initrd as well as the stage2 and minstg2 files. Am I missing something grossly obvious here? -- James A. Peltier Systems Analyst (FASNet),
