Hi,
The installation I did from USB was targeted to hard drive.
I can see that installation creates 4 partitions (/dev/sdaX), but I don't know
which one is the root volume, and LVM may be used. For sure I don't want to
boot from CDROM (sr0) but from my local hard drive (/dev/???).
Regarding CDROM installation, with the version I used (the latest), I'm able to
switch the consoles when installation hang. Does not look like a kernel panic,
but there is a real problem.
Again, having the root account used would help, if someone can provide it...
what do you mean if someone can provide it? you should be able to enable
it when installing the node

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.

Hi,
yesterday I tried the new oVirt Node 2.5.3. I tried installing it
without the quiet flag but no luck. It hanged again and the kernel
didn't show any error on console (tty2).
Later will test without the rhgh flag.
Default options? TUI install? Hardware? UEFI or legacy bios?
I always choose the troubleshooting option and then do an install with basic
video. The only thing I changed from the default kernel boot line was the quiet
flag.
Yes, TUI.
Hardware: this is an old MSI P35Neo MB with 4 GB RAM and a Xeon 3040. The SATA
disk is connected to the onboard controller. The same problem occurred with an
IDE HDD.
Without rhgb and quiet no luck at all. Tomorrow will try with a SATA PCI Card
with a Sil chip.

BTW, now the hostname works on 2.5.3 :-) The network configuration is
still tricky... sometimes I have an "Apply" sometimes only a "Back"
choice.
I *think* this is a feature of being registered to ovirt-engine. Once
you are registered, you can't change the network through the TUI
anymore.
If you're not registered with Engine, please elaborate a bit and I'll
try to figure out what is going on.
What you're saying makes sense. The problem I had was that my node was booting
with DHCP and the IP changed. When I got to the engine / web administrator, my
Host was not detected and I couldn't change it's IP, only the hostname... On
the TUI I can't change the IP because I'm registered but can't change it also
on the engine. Is this correct?

It's working now :-)
Thanks a lot all!
Alex
P.S. I haven't tried installing it on my SATA disk because I
have there a Local Node already running but I'm going to try
again on another one to see if I can send to you the error
log.

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.

You can't activate networking at all? That is news to
me. The node
should work perfectly fine with or without a FQDN.

Have you seen these issues with the 2.5.2 build? Or
only master branch
builds?

I had the problem you mentioned about not finding the root volume. It's a
Fedora issue that you can solve on the boot, changing the root to /dev/sr0, for
instance.
About the setup hanging, I had a kernel panic (I think), because my keyboard
stopped responding.
