With PATA the device ID is based on location. Hdb is the primary slave (slave on first port). There doesn't have to be a hda.Karanbir Singh wrote:Kirk Bocek wrote:I didn't provide the details because it was strange that the installation failed at the same point regardless of the booting method I used. It felt like some basic mistake or mis-setting in the OS. But hey, I've been wrong before.Anything interesting on vc#1,3,4,5 ? how about run remote syslog and see if anything interesting gets in there....After wandering in the dark for two days, I found this posting: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=13334This reminded me that although this is an all SATA system, I also have a PATA tape drive installed.The solution in the posting was to temporarily unplug the tape drive. Rather than pull this host out of the rack for the umpteenth time, I simply added to the installer's command line:hda=none hdb=noneFor some reason, the tape drive is installed as /dev/hdb. I'm not sure what's at /dev/hda. If it's the DVD drive and I was installing from physical media, that might be a problem. However, my PXE-boot install is now flying along.Kirk Bocek
