Re: [Users] ovirt-node install hangs
Hi, I have the exact same problems with the latest 2.5.5-0.1. 1. I'm unable to install from USB stick because after installation, the system does not find it's root volume. 2. Using a CDROM, the installation hangs. First time it hanged at 75%. Second time I tried, it hanged at 25%. No message at all, but keyboard is responsive (lock num, console switch). I could try to do some debug for you. Having the root account used during the installation would help. What is it? With the CDROM installation, I've tried with 2 different hard drives and the server was running fine with its previous OS, so no hardware issue here. I was running the installation on a Poweredge 1950 server.

Any ideas? In the dracut shell, could you run blkid and post the results? I noticed that the USB Disk was named RootBackup instead of Root... I then rebooted and chose uninstall and then installed oVirt Node from scratch and now it worked. Glad it worked the second time. There should be 4 partitions on the disk. Partition 1 is for UEFI or bios_boot depending on your machine type. Partition 2 and Partition 3 are Root and RootBackup. So seeing a RootBackup is correct. Not seeing a Root is incorrect. If you rebooted the host in the middle of the install, or if the install hung for some reason, I can see that situation happening and see it working after uninstall/install. I can't activate Networking because I have that no hostname error mentioned in another post. I think it's related to that... You can't activate networking at all? That is news to me. The node should work perfectly fine with or without a FQDN. Yes, I've also seen the hostname error. And I've also seen some problems with the rootfs lately. Have you seen these issues with the 2.5.2 build? Or only master branch builds? Could you provide a screenshot/dump of the console with that error? - fabian Ok! I'll send them as soon as possible.

And it can take some time to pass the 25% (up to ~2min or so). No, I think it's a kernel hang because the lights on the keyboard halt and I can't change to tty2, etc.. I even changed to tty2 and waited to see if there were some errors but nothing. I've read that tty8 was the logging console but no luck also. BTW, I tried with an IDE disk and the result was the same. Mh, okay. Could you try booting without the rhgb and quiet kernel arguments. I hope that some errors will be displayed on the screen so we get an idea about the problem. If I use a 8 GB usb pen-drive instead of the SATA disk, the installation comes to an end and I reboot but then I get some error about not getting /dev/mapper/by-name/Root and the boot fails to a dracut shell. Any ideas? In the dracut shell, could you run blkid and post the results? I noticed that the USB Disk was named RootBackup instead of Root... I then rebooted and chose uninstall and then installed oVirt Node from scratch and now it worked. Glad it worked the second time. There should be 4 partitions on the disk. Partition 1 is for UEFI or bios_boot depending on your machine type. Partition 2 and Partition 3 are Root and RootBackup. So seeing a RootBackup is correct. Not seeing a Root is incorrect. If you rebooted the host in the middle of the install, or if the install hung for some reason, I can see that situation happening and see it working after uninstall/install. I can't activate Networking because I have that no hostname error mentioned in another post. I think it's related to that... You can't activate networking at all? That is news to me. The node should work perfectly fine with or without a FQDN. Yes, I've also seen the hostname error. And I've also seen some problems with the rootfs lately. Have you seen these issues with the 2.5.2 build? Or only master branch builds? Could you provide a screenshot/dump of the console with that error? - fabian Ok! I'll send them as soon as possible.

[Users] ovirt-node install hangs
Hi, I'm trying to install the ovirt-node iso image on a SATA disk and when it gets to the screen where it shows 25% completed the kernel hangs.

Any ideas? BTW, this happens with both 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 Alex ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
