Hello *,

 

I have a strange problem while trying to kickstart a Fujitsu Primergy RX200 S8 with cobbler to install CentOS 7. My cobbler instance came with Spacewalk 2.4, which I use to install and manage our CentOS systems. Generally automatic installation of CentOS 6 and 7 works very well with many VMware VMs and some hardware based systems.

 

Last week I had to reinstall two of our rare Fujitsu Primergys and was booting them from ISO image, which I build with „cobbler buildiso …“ command. Unfortunatelly the system suddenly resets itself quite early during the installation phase. The last output I can see on the srceen is the following:

 

[ OK ]   Started dracut initqueue hook.

            Starting dracut pre-mount hook...

[ OK ]   Started dracut pre-mount hook.

[ OK ]   Reached target initrd Root File System.

            Starting Reload Configuration from the Real Root…

[ OK ]   Started Reload Configuration from the Real Root.

[ OK ]   Reached target Initrd File Systems.

            Starting dracut mount hook…

[ 19.353791]      EXT4-fs (dm-0): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)

[ OK ]   Started dracut mount hook.

[ OK ]   Reached target Initrd Default Target.

 

Than the system makes a reset and boots again …

 

Could anybody tell me, at which state of the boot process this happens and evt. give me a hint what could be the reason for the reset.

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

Regards
