Re: [Users] ovirt-node install hangs

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.**** ** ** Vince**** ** ** *De :* users-bounces(a)ovirt.org [mailto:users-bounces@ovirt.org] *De la part de* Alexandre Santos *Envoyé :* jeudi 11 octobre 2012 22:57 *À :* Mike Burns *Cc :* users(a)ovirt.org *Objet :* Re: [Users] ovirt-node install hangs**** ** ** ** ** 2012/10/11 Alexandre Santos <santosam72(a)gmail.com&gt;**** 2012/10/11 Mike Burns <mburns(a)redhat.com&gt;**** On Thu, 2012-10-11 at 11:12 +0100, Alexandre Santos wrote: > Hi, > yesterday I tried the new oVirt Node 2.5.3.

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. **** **** > > Alex > > 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.
