General :: RHEL6 - Disable The Tiered-progress Bar During Boot?
Mar 15, 2011
How do you get RHEL6 to display the "traditional" display of startup information instead of the tiered/stacked progress bar? The standard info dump is displayed during shutdown.
I am looking to install RHEL 6 over the network. I havent done any kind of installation before, so this is proving to be an uphill task ergoI just registered on this forum.I'll first let you know what i have:1. I have an RHEL 6 image on one machine and on the same machine I also have a DHCP server ( but am not sure if I have a TFTP server as well - anyway to check ?)What I need:
I need to install RHEL 6 on another machine using the image on the earlier mentioned machine. I have come across many links on my searches online which cover the theoritical aspects which mentions the use of "kickstart" file which once transfered to my client-machine has to be run to install RHEL on my client.. But my problem is, I am unable to find any place which gives a sequence of steps or commands to follow which will help me install this... Can you please guide on how i can go about this
I follow the RHEL6 installation guide to make a USB minimal boot media. The document told me the only thing i need to do is:
Code:
dd if=boot.iso of=/dev/sdb
Where boot.iso is a 200MB ISO image i downloaded from the Red Hat Customer Portal and /dev/sdb is my USB flash drive. But i failed to boot. The USB flash drive's size is 2GB, and my PC's bios supports boot from USB.
I recently did a kernel update usingCode:yum -y updateAfter update while booting progress reaches till the end and it stops there, it doesn't progress. If I use earlier kernel for booting I do not have any issues.
I just installed the latest updates for Fedora 14, and a restart was necessary so I did. Then, it didn't reboot! It hung when the cursive Fedora "f" was there for about 15 minutes. I had guessed that maybe it was doing an automatic fsck disk check, but I'm not sure.
Anyway, I couldn't change to tty2 etc while this was happening and for all I knew, the system was frozen. Is there a way to see the load progress (the text) while booting?
FYI, after 1 extremely slow but eventually successful boot, everything is back to normal with rapid boot times.
I am attempting to install Ubuntu 64Bit Server 10.04 on a new server.
Server Specs: Xeon E5620 12GB RAM 2X 160GB 7200 RPM in RAID1 (Onboard Software RAID) Super Micro X8DTI-8
I am doing a typical install with no special functions on a RAID1 onboard Intel array. I know the array works because I tested it by installing Windows Server 2003 which works fine. The RAID also shows as healthy in the BIOS.
This problem is very difficult to remedy because everything seems to install fine with Ubuntu but when you reboot after the install you get a blinking cursor _ and nothing else. It appears that something happened when loading the OS but it's impossible to get past the blinking cursor because you can't type anything or escape out of it. The only thing that it will register is Ctrl+Alt+Del which will restart the server.
The funny thing is it does not display the typical Sigkill and show processes shutting down. The screen goes black and it restarts only to return to the blinking cursor. I am on my 6th attempt at an install with ubuntu and I am seriously considering switching over to windows unless.
I am almost certain this is a RAID issue because I can load the Ubuntu on 1 drive without any issues but I always get the blinking cursor in the RAID.
I have tried this with many different configurations, however, I believe that the scroll bar that shows the progress of the boot is preventing it from changing successfully. I don't know how to switch it off. X is not installed. No gui, only tui.
I've been running Ubuntu for a few years now and this is the first time in a while that I've been really stumped. My power went out earlier today. Of course my Ubuntu box was on, so it had a hard shutdown. When it booted back up upon power coming back on, it went to the normal Ubuntu startup screen with the orange progress bar, but stopped about halfway through. It then goes to a black screen, with a continuous stream of y's scrolling down the left of the screen. Like this:
[Code]....
So, I try selecting other sessions (Ctrl-Alt-F1, F2, etc) and only get anything from F1, where it says "Starting Up... <cr> Loading, please wait..." I then reboot into recovery mode and get the same continuous y's. However, now when I press Ctrl-Alt-Del, I get the Recovery Menu, which lets me into a root shell. Below is my fdisk -l output.
I have a full install on a dedicated partition. And the problem persists. I have tacked it down to the driver for my video card [nVidia 9600m GS]. When I disable the driver, it somewhat returns to normal [it works fine on shut down, but boot up is still buggy]. However, this makes Docky complain about compositing [it will still work, but there's a black void around it] not being enabled. I also assume that lacking the driver will cause problems if I try to do anything 3D.
i am using acer extensa 4620 laptop of 32bit architecture with core 2 duo processor and 1 gb ddr2.i have installed RHEL 6. i want to do practice on virtual machine for my rhce exam.due to 32bit architecture i am not able to use kvm one more problen,during installation of RHEL6 i cannot use "install or upgrade" option while booting dvd.after entering this opiton my screen goes blank nathing comes,but i am able to install usic "basic video driver option" same problem i face when i enter in rescue mode also..... nothing is displayed...the screen goes blank
I loaded RHEL6 (first time ever loading it) and it would boot to the cmd line. I changed /etc/inittab to boot to GUI, now it freezes. I want to change it back, but do not know how to stop the boot process so I can get to the cmd line to re-edit inittab. I'm working in VMware vCenter.
Does RHEL6 include smp kernel? When I run uname -arn it does #SMP but I want to confirm if a seperate RPM like kernel-smp-* is included in default installation.
I downloaded RHEL 6.0 free 30 day trial version.I would like to train to exams but in order to install packages from RHN repo I need to register in their web site RHN.Is it possible to activate RHEL6.0 in trial version in RHN ?
In Ubuntu 10.04, how do you disable the sounds that are played when the graphical login screen is shown, and after you login? There used to be a friendly System->Administration dialog to disable these, but every version seems to move everything around or simply drop useful features.
I am using Arch Linux and want to disable console messages which are displayed when the kernel boots. I have tried the quiet and loglevel=2 options in /boot/grub/menu.1st as given below:
In RHEL6 root's account I have crontab job: 30 6 18 4 1 /sbin/init 6 It worked fine on the 18th of April and properly restarted my system, BUT it also restarted my OS at 6:30 on next Monday - 25th of April.
I configured httpd.conf. With ip, port 80 and specified the document path correctly. But service httpd restart shows httpd stop fail, httpd start fail.
I have Win 7 installed on my laptop with 4GB RAM. I have installed Oracle VirtualBox-3.2.8-64453-Win. Kindly let me know the steps to install RHEL 6 on this.
I was trying out the parallel port communication on RHEL 6 but found it not working: #echo hello > /dev/parport0 write error :Invalid argument". #ll > "/dev/lp0" /dev/lp0:No such device or address
I want to create a script which will show the amount of data that is been copied from one location to another location. For example: Say I have a file called abc.img which is approximately 4 gb of size therefore every time I copy the file from one location to another I want a progress bar to appear like 50% completed 51% completed and so on.
