Re: Failed to get to installer for CentOS 7 VM under CentOS 6...

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I just tried a CentOS 7 install to a laptop over PXE and it failed in just the 
same way as for the VM.

So, is it not possible to install CentOS 7 via PXE?  Or is there something 
missing?  I just copied the images under os/x86_64/images/ to the tftpd 
directory (/var/lib/tftpboot/) and included in 
/var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default this section:

label centos75-64
	MENU LABEL CentOS 7.5 x86_64
	kernel centos75x86_64vmlinuz
	append initrd=centos75x86_64initrd.img


Do I need anything more?

Things seem to die/fail at some point after initializing the graphics frame 
buffer.  Is there a way to do a non-graphical install?  I have a keyboard and 
really know how to use it and don't need some silly ("friendly"?) GUI to 
install Linux (I don't need hand-holding).
