Looking for help with installation on 1&1 Root Server

[BruceLee]

best is to start with a centos image from 1and1. then you have the grub bootloader allready.
the reason why this error shows up is because you did not provide a correct mirrorsite where all necessary files are stored.
use a correct mirror site.

Ok, I will try the CentOS 5.

unfortunately I can't find any vaild mirror site for 4.7, they offer only the 4.8 now.

[scott]

the only difference between 4.7 and 4.8 is the latter has more hardware drivers and all the updates.

many people have told me that, but the support of my partner don't think so and don't want to test

[uecraft]

I met the issue:

I have only one iso and don't know how to modify the loop for searching the iso, and it always downloads the iso and saves it as "*.iso.1" and the process stops and says "Error, can't find the Image"

[scott]

Well hes wrong

[uecraft]

where should I save the iso file, after the server wass rebooted, comes the install menu, but it says, it can't find the iso file in partitions including /dev/sda2

ps: I saved the file in /mnt/

[uecraft]

luckily I have found a vaild mirror site (cs.stanford.edu), but I met the issue again

H +------+ Installation Method +------+

Now I don't know what to do...

Welcome to CentOS 4.7ServerCD

[scott]

It cant see your disks. Probably doesnt support your hardware.

It cant see your disks. Probably doesnt support your hardware.

Is there any solutions...all my disks are SCSI, and from sda1 to sda6

[scott]

Try 4.8

[uecraft]

Try 4.8

Thank you, I will try the 4.8.

One question, is it possible, that I saved the iso in sda1 and after reboot the new 4.8 will also be installed in the same partition (sda1) and that caused the issue?

[scott]

If you look at the output there, the kernel cant detect any disks at all.

[uecraft]

You mean, the 4.7 doesn't support SATA? Can I use the linux all-generic-ide noapic nolapic
