CentOS 5 :: Live Cd Kickstarts Fail To Build Or Boot
Jun 7, 2010
I have tried building the minimal & desktop Centos 5 live CDs to no avail.Depending on the build environment, they either do not build at all (Centos 5, i386) or they build but kernel panic when I boot them (Fedora 12).I've tried various tweaks to the provided kickstart files but I have not had any success.It is important to note that I have written some very impressive (according to others) Fedora kickstart builds so I am at a loss why the stock Centos files fail.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?I suspect it has something to do with the livecd-tools or syslinux versions but all of the versions I have tried it with make no difference.

Trying to boot Ubuntu 10.04.1 live CD and I get nowhere because the screen just stays black, with a monitor OSD alert saying "Cannot display this mode."
Is there a consumer version of Ubuntu available for regular people to use? I searched on the fourms and any post about "cannot display this mode" advises users to edit configuration files, or go into command line mode... what is this, 1991?
What is the real solution to this? Or is Ubuntu not made for consumer users? What other options do I have besides Mandrake?
The Ubuntu screenshots looks swell, nice graphic design of the user interface, pretty, but they should make the installer/live CD actually work like any other OS in 2010 first tho'.

I am working with linux-source-2.6.30 from squeeze.
The only changes I made in the config file were the processor type, and I disabled CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 to avoid some warnings from udev.
When I tried to build the kernel package, this is what I get:
(The bottom bit is from 'time').
Searching for this error turned up a plethora of results, none of which seemed relevant.
I see that it tells me to file a bug report, but I'm not sure if that is meant for the Debian kernel team or upstream.

I've recently gained interest in CentOS. So I went to the site to download the OS thought one of the mirrors. I downloaded the i386 version of CentOS 5 LiveCD2.iso and burned it to DVD to install.
When I booted up the disc a screen showing a CentOS background appears then quickly fades to black. After that nothing happens.
Maybe it's the architecture? I'm using a single core AMD64 Athlon.

I am attempting to work with adding a new hard drive with a default logical volume setup. In order to complete the task, I am instructed to use a live CD to boot the system without mounting the drives using linux rescue. I am using CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD-Release2.iso
I have reviewed the centos documentation. When the live CD boots, it starts a count down to an automatic boot. I attempt to invoke the boot options as directed by hitting the tab and adding the words
linux rescue
At the end of the line and hit return to begin the booting process.
Unfortunately, the linux rescue boot option is ignored and the system mounts the hard drive. Additionally, I have checked the boot option several times by hitting the tab a second time and the option is not displayed.
In researching the issue, I inevitably get very similar instructions like:
Quote:The first centos CD or DVD has a rescue mode, just type on the boot screen: linux rescue

My first upgrade attempt to 9.10 ruined my install - there was no return and as 9.10 would not install either, I reinstalled 9.04 and everything was as expected.I decided to wait for 10.04 hoping the issue had been solved - unluckily it has NOT. Neither Live CD 9.10 nor 10.04 work. New Mint does not work either - to closely related to Ubuntu, but Suse live CD does. Played around with findings from different threads - like taking out "quiet splash --" and adding modprob parameter to no avail Prime suspect is HD and HD controller (ATA/PATA) - but I could not nail it.

this is not really a question for just ubuntu, but is there a way to build a live cd, be it a customized version of ubuntu or any other distro for that matter, that has an IP address pre-configured? Might seem like a huge waste of time but I am working on a project for work trying to build a "rescue cd" but need it set up with vnc installed and an ip address (very specific) already assigned

I am now at my 6th version of my opensuse build and I can't get it to start the graphical login.I am trying my build out on a VirtualBox using the live cd.This is what happens during installation :It will install properly. No error messages at all. I get the (graphical) options screen to select language and screen resolution settings, so far so good.I select the default (top) installation for my opensuse and hit enter.Then I will get the verbose progress and when it's finished, the verbose will ask me for my user name and password.Then I enter those correctly and the verbose will tell me to enjoy.I am then left with a blinking cursor, and don't know what to do next.
This is not what should have happened since in my build I had selected Configuration > Startup > Default runlevel > 5: Graphical loginI can find no reason for this failure since on my Windows system I have tried out several other Linux systems in the same way and never experienced this problem before.During the assembling of my packages I have payed close attention to select all packages required for a graphical login.An other problem is that although I selected the default language for my build to be Dutch, the default language during setup is still English.I hope there is someone who would be kind enough to be prepared to help me out, I am so eager to start trying out my self made OS.

I've been trying to find an answer to the following problem : whenever my PC is put in Suspend/Hibernate mode, it fails to recover when pushing the power button. This happens both with automatic suspend or manual suspend. I've been reading this problem, and mine is quite similar, but no solution is given.

I have just downloaded and installed the latest version that I know of, Centos 5.4. I initially selected all of the packages and the installations crashed. Since I am installing it on a private network I couldn't save the info. I tried deselecting the packages until finially figuring out the 'extras' was the problem. I deselected that and the installation went fine. What's on the extra's? Part of the error message was something to do with a Python. I have been trying to use Cobbler, is that part of the 'Extras'.

I am pretty new to linux and trying to figure things out as I go. I have two linux installs, one is Fedora 10 and the other is CentOS 5.3I have an application that when I compile gives this error:gtk-builder-convert: command not foundI have done some research on these forums and other places, and I think (although not 100% sure), that my problem is that this command is not available until GTK 2.12 or higher.From what I can tell, CentOS has 2.10.Am I on the right track that I somehow need to update my GTK to 2.12 or better? I noticed on gtk.org the latest release is 2.16. However, its seems no package is available for CentOS? Am I out of luck or is there an option to get this updated? On my fedora install, this works fine and I noticed in the getting started forum it says that sometimes Fedora packages will work, is that a safe option?

I need to install latest xen 3.4.2 to my centOS. I have:
* xen 3.4.2
* Linux 2.6.18 with Xen 3.4.x support source tarball, updated for Xen 3.4.2
* CentOS kernel-2.6.18-164.11.1.el5
Linux 2.6.18 with Xen 3.4.x have old cciss and scsi drivers. It don't support my hardware.
CentOS kernel-2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 works normaly, but was not compiled with xen 3.4.2.
How can I patch Linux 2.6.18 kernel or upgade CentOS kernel to the latest xen?

I've been running squeeze for a couple of weeks now, no problems, just some minor sound issues but that is not important ATM.Everything was working fine until this morning i guess, the boot process goes as normal but at one moment it just freezes for no apparent reason it just says Starting K Display Manager:kdm. Has anyone experienced this problem before, or has a solution?

I just upgraded to F15 and it went well. But at the next and each subsequent cold boot the BIOS reports "Your system last boot fail or post interrupted Please enter setup to load default and reboot". The board is an asus P5N-D. I press F1 to blow past the error and all is well until the next cold boot. Restarts are fine, no errors at all.
