Hi,<br>
<br>
After some unsuccessful attempts to install the stable node
image on our hardware, I found a patch that can help me.<br>
<br>
I followed all the steps in the wiki to build a node image and
got the build process working (Fedora 17).<br>
<br>
The successfully built iso fails to start correctly and I get
a login prompt. During the built process I had some errors
that could be the cause:<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
The build continued so it might be ok although some thing need
to possibly be fixed. <br>
<br>
One thing to try it to boot into rescue mode and then manually
run /usr/libexec/ovirt-config-installer. It should at least
give out the error it failed on. Also more detail on: what kind
of install media, cd, usb, pxe and what was the hardware problem
you had with your specific machine?<br>

Without the installer CD the system doesn't boot at all, I just get
a black screen. When I boot a Fedora CD in rescue mode it says
something like, "no linux partitions found" and I cannot mount the
disk as it doesn't recognize a filesystem.<br>
<br>
Our hardware:<br>

The first problem I have is with installation, I get a similar
message as:<br>

I think I need the following patch for this that's already merged
but not in stable I read.<br>

installer: don't remove log2 directory when merging log files<br>
</blockquote>
After that I installed a minimal Fedora 17 to try that and it
installs without problems.<br>
<br>
But it detects the cpu as Conroe and not Nehalem E5520 so we're
missing out on some cpu features.<br>
