I downloaded a brand new file, made a brand new dvd. I then did an install selecting the virtualization package, then in custom I selected all the virt packages. During install did the same thing as 100 times before, including making netmanager turn on eth auto. it came up in command line, connected to the net, only error I can see so far in the dmesg is 2 things about composite sync or something like that... all other errors went away, installed the proper files to see my eths. I could even yum update from command line. I assume I must have had a bad dvd burn that corrupted a file somewhere. Instead of taking 3-5 minutes to boot up, it boots quick now. I was actually able to boot, play around, yum remove a few things, set selinux to enforce and permissive on different boot ups and it actually booted up. I gotta say the new dvd was 100% easy and no problems..the old dvd was giving me a unstable system. the composite sync thing seems to be a bug that can be changed in grub, so they say. Not even going to attempt to add x or graphics though, I guess you can install guests with text installer. Just no fancy lvm stuff for the guests... thanks ... it is up and running...finally... _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
