Virtualbox Error Processing Drive
Quote Postby YGuenane » 2013/06/06 08:03:23 Hello,I am trying to automate my CentOS initialization. For testing purpose I am doing that with virt-manager / kvm.I used the HTTP installation, indicate the correct installation-tree and ks file location.Installation takes place and then block to a screen where it tells meError processing drive: pci-XXXX -virtio-pci-virtio1 8192MBand laterThis device may need to be reinitializedI initially used the anaconda-ks.cfg file automatically generated after a manual installation, and now one done by myselft, in both case I am presented the same screen that prevents a full unattended installation.Here is my ks fileCode: Select allinstall

Since fellow RHCSA candidates hang out in here and Michael Jang's book seems to be popular choice, I'm hoping someone has had the same problem and found a solution TIA Quote Login/register to remove this advertisement. clubberlane Junior Member Join Date Mar 2006 Posts 3 08-07-201204:22 AM #2 Step through manually Can you finish the installation manually? If so do an install then review /root/anaconda-ks.cfg Quote phatrik Member Join Date Aug 2012 Location Toronto, ON Posts 30 Certifications RHCSA, CCENT 08-07-201204:49 AM #3 Thank you for the suggestion but it didn't help. The resulting anaconda-ks.cfg doesn't make much sense to me. All "part" statements are commented out and the so is the clearpart statement: #clearpart --none #part XXXX #part YYYY #part ZZZZ Commenting out the above statements mean they wouldn't be processed (I looked and found no "autopart" statements in the config) so I decided to give it a try and remove the #'s in front of the above statements. Still got the same result. I then tried using system-config-kickstart to create a fresh config but no cigar. Last edited by phatrik; 08-07-2012 at 05:00 AM.

Hi All, I finally gathered my courage to install Fedora 12 on my laptop. I burnt a DVD to make the install. But it gives an error saying: Error processing drive /dev/sda .... ATA ... The device may need to be reinitialized ... This sounds scary, because I don't want to format my WHOLE hard disk, I only want to format the several partitions on which I want to install F12. Has anyone have the same problem? thanks, Pang dypang View Public Profile Find all posts by dypang #2 27th December 2009, 04:02 PM CSchwangler Offline Registered User Join Date: Feb 2009 Posts: 2,645 This is common if you install in VirtualBox. If you get this on real hardware, then things are different. I assume that your hdd already hosts an operating system and therefore is not uninitialized? Besides an option to reinitialize the hdd, there is another option (not sure how it is called) to ignore this. By the way, what type of partitioning are you doing?
