Hurray!! Finally the rackspace hosts are being installed, we have already fedora18 on one of them. Finally they had to install it using a kvm, and using the safe graphics mode (all the other installation modes, just froze before starting to install, no text mode, console, normal, kickstart, vnc....), it seems that there's some problem with the hardware and fedora 18 :S. Now, which version of ovirt should we install on them? I propose installing 3.2, just to make sure it's stable, what do you think? ---- David Caro Red Hat Czech s.r.o.

Great news! we can finally install the ovirt-engine and start migrating jenkins slaves there. so the goal is to install AIO to save a host and add the 2nd host to it. +1 for installing 3.2 stable version. Eyal. ----- Original Message -----

Ah-ha ... I'd love to file a bug report if we can. So wow, you had to have RackSpace folks put a keyboard/video/mouse on the actual host and do a manual install? FWIW, I had the same problem with F17, but not CentOS 6.3 (or 6.4, I forget.)

+1 to 3.2. It's taken quite a while already and given the goal and I'd prefer to get started sooner rather than later.

Wow, I didn't think to check for a bug report. I do recall possibly trying the 'usbcore' workaround because of a forum post somewhere. As it happens, these machines are in fact DELL PowerEdge R720s.

The strange thing is that I was unable to use the mouse/keyboard from fedora, ubuntu AND windows server.... So in my opinion it's more likely to be a problem with the idrac app (it happens in linux and windows as well...). And it seems a different problem than the vertical stripes freeze in the machine, that one happens through idrac and through a monitor plugged in to the machine... as a remainder, what happened is that after selecting any menu options except safe graphics mode (or entering it from the boot: prompt) the installation started (started showing some of the logs when starting) and then if froze showing only vertical stripes Yes, I agree on opening a bug, but rackspace guys might get pissed if they have to reinstall the machine again :S ----- Original Message -----
