Re: [Users] RE : ovirt-node install hangs
Installation is OK with USB. The problem I have with USB install is when installation is finished and I want to use my node, the root FS (or any required FS) is not found. So the problem I have is not related to the problem you link. What's more my /dev/sda is not alone. I have 4 partitions : sda1,sda2,sda3,sda4. I'll try to boot from a live Linux to get a complete environment (device mapper, LVM, etc ...) to see what's going wrong because currently the Dracut env is very poor. With CDROM installation, I have waited hours ( I had lunch during installation). No kernel panic, and sufficient time to complete.

Re: [Users] RE : ovirt-node install hangs
For some reason I was thinking the password you provide at install time just concerned the installation itself, not the live env used for installation.
