[Users] RE : ovirt-node install hangs

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.

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.

2012/10/9 Alexandre Santos <santosam72@gmail.com<mailto:santosam72@gmail.com>> 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. 2012/10/8 Mike Burns <mburns@redhat.com<mailto:mburns@redhat.com>> On Mon, 2012-10-08 at 09:54 +0100, Alexandre Santos wrote: > > > 2012/10/8 Fabian Deutsch <fabiand@redhat.com<mailto:fabiand@redhat.com>> > Am Montag, den 08.10.2012, 09:24 +0100 schrieb Alexandre > Santos: > > 2012/10/8 Fabian Deutsch <fabiand@redhat.com<mailto:fabiand@redhat.com>> > > Hey, > > > > Am Sonntag, den 07.10.2012, 15:29 +0100 schrieb > Alexandre > > Santos: > > > Hi, > > > I'm trying to install the ovirt-node iso image on > a SATA > > disk and when > > > it gets to the screen where it shows 25% completed > the > > kernel hangs.

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. > > I can't activate Networking because I have that "no > hostname" error > > mentioned in another post. I think it's related to that... You can't activate networking at all? That is news to me. The node should work perfectly fine with or without a FQDN. > > > Yes, I've also seen the hostname error.
