[Starlingx-discuss] StarlingX ISO Image from Cengn Mirror not working on Artesyn/MaxCore

Mon Jan 14 15:05:15 UTC 2019

Hi Marcel,

When you're at the boot option you want to choose from the installer menu, hit <tab> to edit the boot command-line and modify the boot_device and rootfs_device parameters from the default sda to the correct device name (ie. nvme0n1).

Cheers,
Don.

Hi,

the image lloks better. At least I am getting now the installer screen.

Now I am getting the following error:

<--- snipp --->
anaconda 21.48.22.121-1 for CentOS 7 started.
 * installation log files are stored in /tmp during the installation
 * shell is available on TTY2
 * when reporting a bug add logs from /tmp as separate text/plain attachments
02:17:51 Running pre-installation scripts

There was an error running the kickstart script at line 256.  This is a fatal error and installation will be aborted.  The details of this error are:

Installation failed.

ERROR: Specified installation (sda) or boot (sda) device is a USB drive.
<--- snipp --->

Question: How can I confugure the installation/root device? I my case I have 2 1TB nvme flash drives.

Thanks for your help in advance

Marcel
