&gt; yesterday I tried the new oVirt Node 2.5.3. I tried installing it<br>

&gt; BTW, now the hostname works on 2.5.3 :-) The network configuration is<br>
&gt; still tricky... sometimes I have an &quot;Apply&quot; sometimes only a &quot;Back&quot;<br>
&gt; choice.<br>
<br>
</div>I *think* this is a feature of being registered to ovirt-engine.  Once<br>
you are registered, you can&#39;t change the network through the TUI<br>
anymore.<br>
<br>
If you&#39;re not registered with Engine, please elaborate a bit and I&#39;ll<br>
try to figure out what is going on.<br></blockquote><div><br>What you&#39;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&#39;t change it&#39;s IP, only the hostname... On the TUI I can&#39;t change the IP because I&#39;m registered but can&#39;t change it also on the engine. Is this correct? <br>

&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;         &gt; Hi,<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;         &gt; I&#39;m trying to install the<br>
&gt;                 ovirt-node iso image on<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         a SATA<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;         disk and when<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;         &gt; it gets to the screen where it<br>
&gt;                 shows 25% completed<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         the<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;         kernel hangs. I<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;         &gt; can&#39;t connect using a serial<br>
&gt;                 console to see what<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         has<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;         happened. If I<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;         &gt; reboot using a usb linux disk I<br>
&gt;                 see that the SATA<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         disk has<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;         been<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;         &gt; formated and the partitions that<br>
&gt;                 existed before<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         disappeared,<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;         being<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;         &gt; there just one partition of type<br>
&gt;                 &quot;ee&quot;<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;         Is there any error displayed when<br>
&gt;                 kernel hangs at<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         25%? And it<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;         can take<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;         some time to pass the 25% (up to<br>
&gt;                 ~2min or so).<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt; No, I think it&#39;s a kernel hang because the<br>
&gt;                 lights on the<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         keyboard halt<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt; and I can&#39;t change to tty2, etc.. I even<br>
&gt;                 changed to tty2 and<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         waited to<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt; see if there were some errors but nothing.<br>
&gt;                 I&#39;ve read that<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &quot;tty8&quot; was<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt; the logging console but no luck also.<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt; BTW, I tried with an IDE disk and the<br>
&gt;                 result was the same.<br>
&gt;                 &gt;<br>
&gt;                 &gt;<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         Mh, okay.<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         Could you try booting without the rhgb and<br>
&gt;                 quiet kernel<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         arguments. I<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         hope that some errors will be displayed on<br>
&gt;                 the screen so we<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         get an idea<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         about the problem.<br>
&gt;                 &gt;<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;         &gt; If I use a 8 GB usb pen-drive<br>
&gt;                 instead of the SATA<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         disk, the<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;         &gt; installation comes to an end and<br>
&gt;                 I reboot but then<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         I get<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;         some error<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;         &gt; about not<br>
&gt;                 getting /dev/mapper/by-name/Root and the<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         boot<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;         fails to a<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;         &gt; dracut shell.<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;         &gt; Any ideas?<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;         In the dracut shell, could you run<br>
&gt;                 blkid and post<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         the results?<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt; I noticed that the USB Disk was named<br>
&gt;                 RootBackup instead of<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         Root... I<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt; then rebooted and chose uninstall and then<br>
&gt;                 installed oVirt<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         Node from<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt; scratch and now it worked.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;                 Glad it worked the second time.  There should be 4<br>
&gt;                 partitions on the<br>
&gt;                 disk.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;                 Partition 1 is for UEFI or bios_boot depending on your<br>
&gt;                 machine type.<br>
&gt;                 Partition 2 and Partition 3 are Root and RootBackup.<br>
&gt;                  So seeing a<br>
&gt;                 RootBackup is correct.  Not seeing a Root is<br>
&gt;                 incorrect.  If you rebooted<br>
&gt;                 the host in the middle of the install, or if the<br>
&gt;                 install hung for some<br>
&gt;                 reason, I can see that situation happening and see it<br>
&gt;                 working after<br>
&gt;                 uninstall/install.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt; I can&#39;t activate Networking because I have<br>
&gt;                 that &quot;no<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         hostname&quot; error<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         &gt; mentioned in another post. I think it&#39;s<br>
&gt;                 related to that...<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;                 You can&#39;t activate networking at all?  That is news to<br>
&gt;                 me.  The node<br>
&gt;                 should work perfectly fine with or without a FQDN.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;                 &gt;<br>
&gt;                 &gt;<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         Yes, I&#39;ve also seen the hostname error. And<br>
&gt;                 I&#39;ve also seen<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         some problems<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         with the rootfs lately.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;                 Have you seen these issues with the 2.5.2 build?  Or<br>
&gt;                 only master branch<br>
&gt;                 builds?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         Could you provide a screenshot/dump of the<br>
&gt;                 console with that<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         error?<br>
&gt;                 &gt;<br>
&gt;                 &gt;         - fabian<br>
&gt;                 &gt;<br>
&gt;                 &gt;<br>
&gt;                 &gt; Ok! I&#39;ll send them as soon as possible.<br>
