Centos 6 Anaconda Error

Hat Enterprise Linux, there is probably a SCSI controller that is not being recognized by the installation program. Check your hardware vendor's website to determine if a driver diskette image is available that fixes your centos anaconda boot options problem. For more general information on driver diskettes, refer to Chapter 7, Driver Media for

Intel and AMD Systems. You can also refer to the Red Hat Hardware Compatibility List, available online at: http://hardware.redhat.com/hcl/ 6.3.2. Saving Traceback centos anaconda python Messages Without a Diskette Drive If you receive a traceback error message during installation, you can usually save it to a diskette. If you do not have a diskette drive available in your system, you anaconda centos 7 can scp the error message to a remote system. When the traceback dialog appears, the traceback error message is automatically written to a file named /tmp/anacdump.txt. Once the dialog appears, switch over to a new tty (virtual console) by pressing the keys Ctrl-Alt-F2 and scp the message written to /tmp/anacdump.txt to a known working remote system. 6.3.3. Trouble with Partition Tables If you receive an error after the Disk Partitioning

Setup (Section 4.15, “Disk Partitioning Setup”) phase of the installation saying something similar to The partition table on device hda was unreadable. To create new partitions it must be initialized, causing the loss of ALL DATA on this drive. you may not have a partition table on that drive or the partition table on the drive may not be recognizable by the partitioning software used in the installation program. Users who have used programs such as EZ-BIOS have experienced similar problems, causing data to be lost (assuming the data was not backed up before the installation began) that could not be recovered. No matter what type of installation you are performing, backups of the existing data on your systems should always be made. 6.3.4. Using Remaining Space You have a swap and a / (root) partition created, and you have selected the root partition to use the remaining space, but it does not fill the hard drive. If your hard drive is more than 1024 cylinders, you must create a /boot partition if you want the / (root) partition to use all of the remaining space on your hard drive. 6.3.5. Other Partitioning Problems If you are using Disk Druid to create partitions, but cannot move to the next scree

This option has been deprecated in Centos 5, centos 6 kickstart server dependencies are resolved automatically every time now. --excludedocsSkips the installation of files that are marked as documentation (all files

that are listed when you do rpm -qld ) --nobaseSkips installation of @Base. This won't work unless you know what you're doing as it might leave out packages required by https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Installation_Guide-en-US/s1-trouble-install-x86.html post installation scripts --ignoremissingIgnore missing packages and groups instead of asking what to do. This option has been deprecated in Centos 5, dependencies are resolved automatically every time now. Example of minimal package selection for CentOS 4: %packages --resolvedeps --excludedocs --nobase kudzu please note that essential stuff will be missing. There will be no rpm, no yum, no vim, no dhcp-client and https://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/KickStart no keyboard layouts. Kudzu is required, because the installer fails if it is missing. Example of minimal package selection for CentOS 5: %packages --excludedocs --nobase @Core Again, this will leave you with a *very* basic system that will be missing almost every feature you might expect. The --resolvedeps used with CentOS 4 is not required for CentOS 5 and newer releases as the newer installer always resolves dependencies. Partitioning If you start out with a unpartitioned disk, or a virtual machine on a unpartitioned image, use the --initlabel parameter to clearpart to make sure that the disklabel is initialized, or Anaconda will ask you to confirm creation of a disklabel interactively. For instance, to clean all partitions on xvda, and initialize the disklabel if it does not exist yet, you could use: clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=xvda Running anaconda in real text-mode You probably already know that you can make anaconda run with a ncurses interface instead of the X11 interface by adding the line "text" to your kickstart file. But there's another option: install in real shell-like textmode. Replace the "text"-line with a "cmdline
