<p class="MsoNormal">Hi folks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I grabbed the latest ISO built by CENGN and booted it on Virtual Box. It installs fine, but at the end of the installation, it’s failing to eject the ISO (/dev/sr0) and when it reboots, it goes back to the ISO boot menu. Is anyone else
seeing this?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I went back through a number of ISOs, and found that it seems to have started with the update to 4.18 kernel. The April 30<sup>th</sup> ISO has the old kernel in the installer and is fine:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/master/centos/monolithic/20200430T080009Z/outputs/iso/bootimage.iso">http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/master/centos/monolithic/20200430T080009Z/outputs/iso/bootimage.iso</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">but when I try the next available ISO, May 5<sup>th</sup>, I start seeing this problem:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/master/centos/monolithic/20200505T080012Z/outputs/iso/bootimage.iso">http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/master/centos/monolithic/20200505T080012Z/outputs/iso/bootimage.iso</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My designer builds are using an older installer, so I hadn’t hit this until trying the CENGN build (which updates the installer with the newly built kernel on each build). The kickstarts would be the same between my designer build and the
latest CENGN build, so I think that just leaves the kernel change in the installer.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At first, I thought it was the following error, seen on the console just before the reboot, but I see it in both the 3.10 and 4.18 cases:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">[ 819.009060] systemd-shutdown[9055]: Failed to unmount /run/install/repo: Device or resource busy<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I verified the kernel version in the installer by hitting ctrl-o while anaconda is installing, to get to a shell, then running “uname -a”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Obviously, this would only be an issue for ISO boots, not a network install. Has anyone tried installing the CENGN ISO with the 4.18 kernel on hardware from USB, or have all installs been from network? Maybe this is just an issue on Virtual
Box.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m running currently running Virtual Box 6.0.4 r128413 on Windows 10, if that matters. I’ve also tried the latest CENGN ISO on Virtual Box 5.2.22 r126460 on Windows 7 and see the same behaviour.<o:p></o:p></p>
