Circumstances: The system is a hardware duplicate of a system that installed and works for many months. Running CentOS 4.x. The system was previously in service with CentOS 3.x and I'm trying to install CentOS 4.1 on it from downloaded CDs which have worked previously (these are the same CDs used to install the system that's working). Software RAID. Minimal packages System appears to install properly, then on first reboot halts with error: (note that this is hand copied, not cut-and-pasted, so there may be errors in spelling <frown): ... Creating block devices Creating root device Mounting root filesystem kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Freeing unused kernel memory: 228k freed Warning: unable to open an initial console. and system halts with nothing else on screen. I even tried downloading the entire /boot partition contents from the working machine and installing the contents on the /boot partition on the local machine. Same problem. I was supposed to get this server into the data center; it's now 02:19. I'm going home to get a few hours sleep. Any suggestions? Help appreciated. Thanks.
