[ale] Strange errors with RHEL 6.3 install. .

[Lightner, Jeff]

I did the install of RHEL6.3 on a couple of DELL PowerEdge servers last  month from DVD ISOs I’d downloaded from RedHat’s site at the time and didn’t see an issue like that.

Is the /mnt/sysimage something in your ramdisk or are you loading from a kickstart server that is exporting the filesystem?

Note:  Starting with 6.1 or so RHEL introduced biosdev support to determine where NICs physically are so that what was eth0 might now be something like en1 or p1p1 assuming your hardware supports that.   The Dells I was loading do – not sure if your HP does but if you’re relying on the network for the install it could be an issue with the name not being what you expect.

Has anyone seen a problem with installing RHEL 6 update 3 on new hardware? it starts up ok, but gets about 120 packages into the installed and forgets where the RPM's are located ("'Can't find /mnt/sysimage/var/lib/rpm' ), sends a error message then aborts. Processor is an i5 and this has an EFI bios on it...


 Target is a HP Elite 8300 SFF desktop... which claims to be certiified as a target platform. Any ideas?
