Hi, I just tried to install CentOS 7 using a Lantronix Spider KVM-over-IP System and its virtual media feature and to my surprise this did not work. The installation using the netinstall iso seems to work for a while (I see some dracut boot messages) but when the first stage of the boot is finished I get dropped into an emergency shell with the error message that "/dev/root does not exist".
I tried this on a Supermicro system and a gen-8 HP ProLiant Server both with the same result.
Using CentOS 6 instead worked fine and I could install the Systems without issues.
Any idea what the problem could be? Given that the iso is passed through as a USB storage device I'm not sure what the problem could be.
Regards, Dennis

Your iso must be corrupt. I've installed EL7 over iLo with no issues ...

How exactly the KVM over IP is related to the CentOS installation? The KVM should only show you the screen and access keyboard or\and mouse.
What usb port are you using for the netinstall iso?
