sumary: i am trying to install the ovirt-node image onto a hp dl360 g5 with radi6 controller (cciss driver). one raid6 array exported to one virtual disk. official iso fails with python bug "global variable 'disk' not known", so i've downloaded a recent 2.3.0 stable image from jenkins (ovirt-node-image-2.3.0-0.111.fc16.git5e8d287.iso) and get generic failure. below is the /tmp/ovirt.log with only the backspace noise from mkfs removed. i've poked around the code a bit, and i don't see how this works anywhere. it creates 4 partitions and makes the first one for efi and makes it bootable, which grub then chokes over. here's the log: /sbin/restorecon set context /var/cache/yum->unconfined_u:object_r:rpm_var_cache_t:s0 failed:'Read-only file system' /sbin/restorecon set context /data2->unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0 failed:'Read-only file system' /sbin/restorecon reset /boot-kdump context system_u:object_r:boot_t:s0->system_u:object_r:default_t:s0 /sbin/restorecon reset /var/log/iscsiuio.log context system_u:object_r:iscsi_log_t:s0->system_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 /sbin/restorecon reset /var/cache/yum context unconfined_u:object_r:file_t:s0->unconfined_u:object_r:rpm_var_cache_t:s0 /sbin/restorecon reset /etc/sysctl.conf context system_u:object_r:etc_runtime_t:s0->system_u:object_r:system_conf_t:s0 /sbin/restorecon reset /data2 context unconfined_u:object_r:root_t:s0->unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0 2012-03-05 23:33:57,065 -
