Chapter 6. Troubleshooting Installation on an Intel® or AMD System It works with the CD, DVD, hard drive ISO, and NFS ISO installation methods. Red Hat recommends that you test all installation media before starting the installation process, and before reporting any installation-related bugs (many of the bugs reported are actually due to improperly-burned CDs). To use this test, type the following command at the boot: or yaboot: prompt (prepend with elilo for Itanium systems): linux mediacheck For more information concerning signal 11 errors, refer to: http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/ 2. Trouble Beginning the Installation 2.1. Problems with Booting into the Graphical Installation There are some video cards that have trouble booting into the graphical installation program. If the installation program does not run using its default settings, it tries to run in a lower resolution mode. If that still fails, the installation program attempts to run in text mode. One possible solution is to try using the resolution= boot option. This option may be most helpful for laptop users. Another solution to try is the driver= option to specify the driver that should be loaded for your video card. If this works, it should be reported as a bug as the installer has failed to autodetect your videocard. Refer to Chapter 8, Additional Boot Options for Intel® and AMD Systems for more information on boot options. Note To disable frame buffer support and allow the installation program to run in text mode, try using the nofb boot option. This command may be necessary for accessibility with some screen reading hardware. 3. Trouble During the Installation 3.1. No devices found to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux Error Message If you receive an error message stating No devices found to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux, there is probably a SCSI controller that is not being recognized by the installation program. Check your hardware vendor's website to determine if a driver diskette image is available that 72
Saving Traceback Messages Without a fixes your problem. For more general information on driver diskettes, refer to Chapter 7, Driver Media for Intel® and AMD Systems. You can also refer to the Red Hat Hardware Compatibility List, available online at: http://hardware.redhat.com/hcl/ 3.2. Saving Traceback Messages Without a Diskette Drive If you receive a traceback error message during installation, you can usually save it to a diskette. If you do not have a diskette drive available in your system, you can scp the error message to a remote system. When the traceback dialog appears, the traceback error message is automatically written to a file named /tmp/anacdump.txt. Once the dialog appears, switch over to a new tty (virtual console) by pressing the keys Ctrl-Alt-F2 and scp the message written to /tmp/anacdump.txt to a known working remote system. 3.3. Trouble with Partition Tables If you receive an error after the Disk Partitioning Setup (Section 15, “Disk Partitioning Setup”) phase of the installation saying something similar to The partition table on device hda was unreadable. To create new partitions it must be initialized, causing the loss of ALL DATA on this drive. you may not have a partition table on that drive or the partition table on the drive may not be recognizable by the partitioning software used in the installation program. Users who have used programs such as EZ-BIOS have experienced similar problems, causing data to be lost (assuming the data was not backed up before the installation began) that could not be recovered. No matter what type of installation you are performing, backups of the existing data on your systems should always be made. 3.4. Using Remaining Space You have a swap and a / (root) partition created, and you have selected the root partition to use the remaining space, but it does not fill the hard drive. If your hard drive is more than 1024 cylinders, you must create a /boot partition if you want the / (root) partition to use all of the remaining space on your hard drive. 3.5. Other Partitioning Problems If you are using Disk Druid to create partitions, but cannot move to the next screen, you 73
