Oct 25, 2009I'm trying to create several Centos virtual machines to run Cpanel servers on each. Centos 5 looks good due to bundled Xen. Not sure whether to go for 64 bit version of Centos 5 and run some of the Apps as 32 bit and a few as 64. The h/w is a Dell poweredge R710 with dual 2.26 GHz quad core Xeon procs, 5.86 GT/s 24GB ram memory speed 1067 MHz. Raid with perc 6/i.
I burned the Centos 5 iso onto cd-rw but my lap top and the new dell won't boot from it. I viewed the readme file which seems to suggest burning "boot.iso" on its own but that doesn't work either. A boot menu on the Dell has an option to "Deploy" an O/S. Do I need that or can't I simply boot from cd-rw? I used Nero to burn the cds. I asked Nero if any special box needs to be ticked to write a bootable image and they said no.

CentOS 5 :: Using USB Flash Stick As Boot Disk
Mar 20, 2011I would like to use a USB flash drive as a boot disk. I have 2 hard drives. I will have Windows 7 as Drive 1 and Linux as Drive 2.I would like to not touch Drive 1 at all NO grub or other boot-loader. My old system I used a floppy drive as a boot disk.This worked if floppy was inserted: It booted grub giving me the choice of Windows(drive 1)or Linux(drive 2). I would like to replace the floppy with a USB stick. I have a couple of 64 MB (LOL) flash drives to use.

Apr 6, 2011I had a laptop with a partition for windows and linux, but I decided to thorw away the partition for windows and add it to the linux partition. So i read this was possible with gparted, burned a cd, deleted the windows partition and resized the linux partition to the full space.
GParted did it work, but when it was nearly finished it said it failed. When I rebooted the laptop, it gave me hard disk errors of the type: DRDY ERR UNC. I couldn't solve the problem, so I wanted to clear the whole disk. I have been trying to accomplish this with the Debian boot CD, but it says it can't do that anymore. How to completely erase my hard disk?
CentOS 5 :: Duplicate Rpms In Base And Updates?
Jun 29, 2010There appears to be three rpms duplicated between the base repo and the updates repo:
gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-2.14.2-6.el5.x86_64.rpm
gnome-python2-extras-2.14.2-6.el5.x86_64.rpm
gnome-python2-libegg-2.14.2-6.el5.x86_64.rpm
This causes a big problem for Spacewalk as the packages are non-unique among channels.
I'm assuming these should be in base but not updates?Can they be removed to address this issue?

Ubuntu Installation :: Newer Kernel Updates AFTER 2.6.32-17 Has A Randomness At Boot Time Whether The System Will Completely Boot Or Not?
Jul 26, 2010I've been having a problem on my AMD based machine, 4cpu, gigabyte ga-ma78gm-s2h Mobo, 8GB mem, two 2 terabyte Sata HDs.One thing I've found is that any kernel after 2.6.32-17 has a randomness at boot time whether the system will completely boot or not.
For instance just today I downloaded and installed 2.6.32-24
It fails to boot (I've tried cold boot, warm boot).Running its repair also fails to completely boot.My experience is that if I keep trying it "may" eventually boot but I believe there was some change after 2.6.32-17-generic that's causing the problem.Because as with 2.6.32.23... which also fails to complete bootup many times... eventually my guess is that 2.6.32.24 will also boot "sometimes".But why does 2.6.32.17 always boot for me? Something changed and its not my setup.
Ubuntu :: Boot Screen: Duplicate Options And Its Recovery Mode
Jan 5, 2010i'm a recent convert from windows and my first few days with this os have been great. to think i've been living in the dark all this time...
anyway, my question is about the boot screen in bios. normally it booted up thusly:
ubuntu-linux generic [...]
ubuntu-linux generic [...] (recovery)
memory thing
windows xp
but today, the boot screen showed two instances of ubuntu generic, its recovery mode, and the memory thing (i forget what it's called exactly. do you know what i mean?). i installed the os only once.
CentOS 5 :: Want To Remove X/Gnome Completely?
Jan 18, 2010I'm installing CentOS from the netinstall in Virtualbox now. I was about to post a different thread because Anaconda kept crashing on me. Whenever I would try to uncheck Gnome, clicking next would always fail. I really don't want Gnome, but I need to get the VM installed, so I just accepted the default software selection. (It's not an iso problem either because I originally tried the DVD as well.)I've been using Linux for several years, but I need to use a GUI-less server. I found some instructions on how to disable X by entering runlevel 3, but that's not what I want to do. Is there a meta-package that I can remove "yum remove" and it will remove all the GUI dependencies, or perhaps something like "yum groupremove"?

Hardware :: Fedora 11 RAID 1 - Disk Failure - Boot From The Single Working Disk?
Oct 16, 2009my Fedora 11 system is not starting anylonger. It stops with the message:
Code:
VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem on dev dm-0
The system told me since a while, that a lot of the sectors of one disk of the (software) RAID compound are failed already. So tried to disconnect each of the disks and start them separately. Unfortunaltly this is not working (for one its is not working at all, the other wents the same far as with both), when I tried to recover the system with the Fedora DVD, it said no distribution found. I am quite new and do not know so much about linux system, so i do not know what further information you could need. Maybe it can be important, that both disks are encryped (the system wents so far, that I can type in the password).
Debian Installation :: No Boot Disk Has Been Detected Or Disk Has Failed
Nov 3, 2015I installed Debian on my PC with a Acer Stock motherboard (xc600) with amd64 and after the installation finished it told me to remove my installation media and reboot. After reboot I was returned this message ' ERROR: No boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed.'. I have verified with gparted using mint live OS that I have Debian installed on my system.
I got believes that this may have be caused by a broken grub or I need to configure something I don't know how in BIOS.
I will update the topic later..
My installation media was a USB 2.0 flashdrive with a Debian 8.2 Jessie Installer and 9 different Linux distros. I have installed Debian multiple times before on my laptop and never had this problem so I know how to go through the installation process and set the partitions.

Ubuntu Installation :: Disk Error On /boot With Dual Boot On Dual Disk
Dec 30, 2010I have a (slightly complicated) dual/multi boot system.
I keep getting boot errors (when choosing ubuntu from the grub2 menu)
Code:
Serious errors were found while checking the disk drive for /boot
If I switch off and restart, ubuntu will then start without issue.
My setup is like this ....3 disks, one with 10.10 clean install - so Grub2, separate partitions for /, /boot and /home, one with windows 7, one with windows XP and 10.04 wubi (this is my old disk which I will trash once I'm happy with my upgrade to 10.10 & 7 on separate disks.
I installed 7 and 10.10 with ONLY their disks installed. After both were working, I added all disks and rejigged the grub2 menu (using update-grub and StartUp-Manager).
This problem only seems to occur if my previous boot was not 10.10 ( I will investigate this further). It's as if something (grub2 ?, the bios ?) is remembering part of the previous boot and not using the grub2 menu completely.

CentOS 5 :: Install CentOS 5.2, And The Installation Ran Out Of Disk Space After Running For About 2 Hours?
Feb 18, 2010I am trying to install CentOS 5.2, and the installation ran out of disk space after running for about 2 hours.I checked the FAQ, and it said 1.2 GB. The disk is 3 GB. The default install was selected, and I think that it checks for sufficient available disk space before installing. Still, it ran for quite a while before announcing that it was out of disk space.The Installation Guide is not very helpful, since there is a blank page where the disk space requirement is supposed to be. I just picked the default installation. A search of the forums on "not enough disk space" did not return much.

Nov 10, 2009I am having new hardware and IDE driver for that hardware as drive disk image (it8213_centos53.img). CentOS 5.3 installation is working fine with drive disk image at USB and CentOS 5.3 at DVD. Our application uses CentOS 5.3 and we build a custom kick-start ISO for installations. Using that ISO client is going to install on all hardware boxes.
Note while installing :
a) No network connection is avalible.
b) No USB isavalible.
c) No floppy is avalible.
d) Only single CD-ROM is avalible.
So, is it possible to build single custom kick-start CentOS 5.3 ISO which contains dirve disk image and entire installation will be done using that image. If so please let me know the steps to build it.
