[CentOS] Centos 7 installer alert! message
When I install Centos 7, I see an "alert!" message flash by, too fast to read it. Is there a way to figure out what that message is/was (after install) or make it wait so I can actually read it? thanks, Ron ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] CentOS 7 installer bug?
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 , 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. fdisk shows the partition types correctly. Back to the GUI, select the MD drive... and /boot's fine, / looks ok... but the one for swap shows with 0 bytes. Anyone else seen this behavior? mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I used Anaconda to do the partitioining, did NOT partition the drives beforehand like you did. creating RAID in Anaconda is not especially intuitive, but it can be done. here's the general recipe I followed: http://www.ictdude.com/howto/install-centos-7-software-raid-lvm/ you can also do manual partitioning if you don't want LVM, just define your own partitions and specify whatever non-LVM filesystem you prefer. it's not, as I said, exactly intuitive, but if you play around with it for a while you'll be able to figure it out. it might be easiest to create a VM and try it there until you get it the way you like.

[CentOS] CentOS 7 Installer Fail With 3Ware Controller
I thought I'd post to the mail list because I know there are some that only respond this way. I have a new SuperMicro X10-DRI host with a 3Ware controller that hangs when I try to install CentOS 7 on it. I've documented everything here: https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=49t=52231 CentOS 6.6 installs just fine. I'd appreciate any feedback anyone has, either to the list or the forum.

[CentOS] CentOS 7 installer not seeing SATA disks
I am having trouble with the CentOS 7 installer recognizing SATA hard disks on a Core 2 motherboard. Yesterday I was installing CentOS 7 on a core 2 test computer (rather old machine). The computer had two SATA drives but the installer did not allow me to select them, even to repartition them. During install, I was able to manually run fdisk and sfdisk by accessing a multiscreen using ctrl-alt-F2, so the kernel did see the drives and the /dev entries were present. As a second test, I added a new solid state drive to replace one of the hard disks. The installer saw that drive and allowed me to install on it. Has anyone seen issues like this? Is there a simple workaround? Thanks, -- Wade Hampton ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] CentOS 7 installer
I dunno if this ours, or an upstream enhancement, but I was just rebuilding a 6.5 box with 7. I selected custom formatting. 1. It seems to autoselect *ALL* drives. I would strongly argue that it should *only* select the first drive, or whichever is already bootable. That could be disastrous if someone doesn't notice they're all selected. 2. There's NO BACK BUTTON once you get into the select mount points, etc, screen. The only way back seems to be a reboot. mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Yes, imagine connected to your large data filesystems. Or worse yet, you have a data center power down PXE for some reason is set on all switches as the first choice and any mounted filesystem might get wiped...

I had an assistant a while back; he set up small server, and first boot choice was from first hard drive, second was pxe that was starting fresh system build (wiping all drives,...). He never changed that after the system was initially built with kickstart. Why, if it will always boot from the drive, right? One day on boot (upon reboot into updated kernel, I guess) system drive timed out... and his production box was wiped ;-). I bet he never leaves things like that since.
