Thanks,
This gets it further along to where it hangs on running pre-install scripts. (There are no preinstall scripts). Where should I look to debug this?

Hi John again, I find a solution for me, I meen it is possible that you do, as test, the same! CentOS installtion works fine now! in other mailings i found: =========================================== Hi all, After spending another day of debugging I think I found the problem. There seems to be a bug in the kernel (2.6.18-194.el5) which was provided for pxe install on the CentOS 5.5 iso images. I could trigger it rproducilble via the following steps: * boot it via pxe in rescue mode * ensure you have a swap and a date (probably ext3) partition * try to mount the swap partition -> this fails * try to mount the normal partition -> system hangs -> kernel panic Can anybody confirm/disprove this? @developers: Is there a way to change the kickstart pre script which tries to not mount a swap partition? Regards, Sascha Bendix Sascha, Can you try a solution real quick for me? edit /var/lib/rhn/kickstart/snippets/keep_system_id and change: DISKS="$DISKS $(fdisk -l /dev/$disk | awk '/^\/dev/{print $1}')" to DISKS="$DISKS $(fdisk -l /dev/$disk | grep -v "swap\|LVM\|Extended" | awk '/^\/dev/{print $1}')" that should ensure that it doesn't try to mount any of those types of partitions (it seemed that even if it excluded swap but tried to mount LVM, it would fail). The above change seemed to work really well for me. -Justin Sherrill ============================================================-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Johannes Walther [mailto:[email protected]] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 20.

I dont know why. I have had the same Problem like you wrote in your Mail to the List. --> [Spacewalk-list] trying to get CentOS 5.5 to kickstart In Spacewalk I have the channels: CentOS-5.5; Fedora-12; Fedora-13; i386 + x86_64. All with child-channels update; epel; rhn-tools, different names. All fedora works fine, but boot CentOS, i386 + x86_64, stop on the same screen like yours. What can i do vor debug this. On the blue-screen point the bash (F2) doesn't work. Cheers and thanks Johannes
