RHEV-H 7.2 Beta Install

I know this is the ovirt-list, but I've had great success with help here as I have been running a couple of ovirt instances for some time (as part of a lab/testing). In any case, I'm trying to install the RHEV-H beta (7.2 latest ISO), and for whatever reason, my install gets to 22% (right after partitioning up the local drive, I believe) and fails. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. I've tried changing install options (i've been installing via PXE) to no avail, and I notice that there don't appear to be any virtual terminals to switch to look at things and/or see where things failed. The errors that I get say something along the lines of: unexpected EOF while looking for matching '' I'll try and get more details, but i've attached a screenshot from the console. Any help on HOW to troubleshoot this, pull logs, etc.. would be most appreciated as I'd like to get this moving forward. Thanks for all of your hard work and the help of the community! -- Chris

For some reason, completely power-cycling the machine (pull power) resolved this. Odd one, but I'm not going to put too much thought into it unless I encounter it on other nodes that I build I do have another interesting problem with node that I don't seem to understand, but I'll create a new thread.

Hey Christoph, first thanks for the report.
Any help on HOW to troubleshoot this, pull logs, etc.. would be most appreciated as I'd like to get this moving forward.
As Ryan wrote, you need to drop to shell, then all logs are in /var/log. The problem seems to be an old code fragment which assumes sysV init scripts. I wonder why we did not encounter it earlier. Could you file a bug about this issue? - fabian
