Just wondering if you are installing a bunch of i386 stuff (Open Office, etc., or mostly just x86_64 stuff) It shouldn't matter, you should be able to install packages and upgrade all the items with no issues.
In my kickstart config I have
%packages --resolvedeps @ kde-software-development @ compat-arch-development @ kde-desktop @ web-server @ x-software-development @ legacy-software-development @ french-support @ server-cfg @ system-tools @ editors @ admin-tools @ base-x @ printing @ gnome-desktop @ gnome-software-development @ graphics @ development-tools @ text-internet @ graphical-internet @ compat-arch-support kernel-smp-devel kernel-smp lvm2 e2fsprogs
Ok, this sounds like some kind of driver issue with SATA. What kernel are you running (uname -r)?
Linux rnd21.bullseye.tv 2.6.9-11.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jun 8 16:59:12 CDT 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
What kind of machine (model of motherboard and/or machine)?
It is a Tyan with an onboard SATA controller, I do not have the exact specs. I will look it up asap.
Do you have the latest BIOS update for the motherboard and the SATA controller.
yep
Is the controller for the hard drive(s) built onto the motherboard or is it a separate controller?
onboard
Are you running RAID or LVM2 (or both)?
I only have a single drive, so no RAID, but by default CEntOS 4 is using LVM
After doing some more research I tried using the unsupported kernel from the centosplus repo and everything works fine now.
Thanks for the excellent hints on where to look. I would never guessed that it was a kernel incompatiblity problem.
