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. I can't
connect using a serial console to see what has happened. If I reboot using
a usb linux disk I see that the SATA disk has been formated and the
partitions that existed before disappeared, being there just one partition
of type "ee"
If I use a 8 GB usb pen-drive instead of the SATA disk, the installation
comes to an end and I reboot but then I get some error about not getting
/dev/mapper/by-name/Root and the boot fails to a dracut shell.
Any ideas?
BTW, this happens with both 2.5.1 and 2.5.2

Is there any error displayed when kernel hangs at 25%? And it can take
some time to pass the 25% (up to ~2min or so).

In the dracut shell, could you run blkid and post the results?

Is there any error displayed when kernel hangs at 25%? And it can take

No, I think it's a kernel hang because the lights on the keyboard halt and
I can't change to tty2, etc.. I even changed to tty2 and waited to see if
there were some errors but nothing. I've read that "tty8" was the logging
console but no luck also.
BTW, I tried with an IDE disk and the result was the same.

I noticed that the USB Disk was named RootBackup instead of Root... I then
rebooted and chose uninstall and then installed oVirt Node from scratch and
now it worked.
I can't activate Networking because I have that "no hostname" error
mentioned in another post. I think it's related to that...

Mh, okay.
Could you try booting without the rhgb and quiet kernel arguments. I
hope that some errors will be displayed on the screen so we get an idea
about the problem.

Yes, I've also seen the hostname error. And I've also seen some problems

Could you provide a screenshot/dump of the console with that error?

Glad it worked the second time. There should be 4 partitions on the
disk.
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.

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. And I've also seen
some problems
with the rootfs lately.
Have you seen these issues with the 2.5.2 build? Or only master branch
builds?
Could you provide a screenshot/dump of the console with that
error?

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.

Default options? TUI install? Hardware? UEFI or legacy bios?

BTW, now the hostname works on 2.5.3 :-) The network configuration is

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.

Glad it worked the second time. There should be 4
partitions on the
disk.
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.

You can't activate networking at all? That is news to
me. The node
should work perfectly fine with or without a FQDN.

Default options? 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.

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. Is this correct?

Without rhgb and quiet no luck at all. Tomorrow will try with a SATA PCI

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, t=
he 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 t=
he installation would help. What is it?
With the CDROM installation, I've tried with 2 different hard drives and th=
e server was running fine with its previous OS, so no hardware issue here.
I was running the installation on a Poweredge 1950 server.

Thanks a lot all!

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.

Glad it worked the second time. There should be 4
partitions on the
disk.
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.

You can't activate networking at all? That is news to
me. The node
should work perfectly fine with or without a FQDN.

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.****

Default options? 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.

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. Is this correct? ****

I had the problem you mentioned about not finding the root volume. It's a
Fedora issue that you can solve on the boot, changing the root to /dev/sr0,
for instance.
About the setup hanging, I had a kernel panic (I think), because my
keyboard stopped responding.

New subject: [Users] RE : ovirt-node install hangs
Hi,
The installation I did from USB was targeted to hard drive.
I can see that installation creates 4 partitions (/dev/sdaX), but I don't know which
one is the root volume, and LVM may be used. For sure I don't want to boot from CDROM
(sr0) but from my local hard drive (/dev/???).
Regarding CDROM installation, with the version I used (the latest), I'm able to switch
the consoles when installation hang. Does not look like a kernel panic, but there is a
real problem.
Again, having the root account used would help, if someone can provide it...
Vince

Glad it worked the second time. There should be 4
partitions on the
disk.
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.

You can't activate networking at all? That is news to

should work perfectly fine with or without a FQDN.

I had the problem you mentioned about not finding the root volume. It's a Fedora
issue that you can solve on the boot, changing the root to /dev/sr0, for instance.
About the setup hanging, I had a kernel panic (I think), because my keyboard stopped
responding.

what do you mean if someone can provide it? you should be able to enable
it when installing the node
Yes,
When you get to the boot menu, hit tab and add the following to the
kernel command line:
rootpw=<hashed password>
To generate the hashed password, use
openssl passwd

New subject: [Users] RE : ovirt-node install hangs
For some reason I was thinking the password you provide at install time just concerned the
installation itself, not the live env used for installation.
So you're right, I have the password :)
I'll try to give more informations soon.
Thanks.

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.

Default options? 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.

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. Is this correct?

I had the problem you mentioned about not finding the root volume. It's a Fedora
issue that you can solve on the boot, changing the root to /dev/sr0, for instance.
About the setup hanging, I had a kernel panic (I think), because my keyboard stopped
responding.
