CentOS crashes on install!
Hi,
Im running VMware Server on Windows XP (Professional),i'm trying to install CentOS 4.4i836. I am able to boot run throught the initial setup. But when it actually installs the packages on my system it crashes and shuts down the installation. showing the error: Starting graphical installtion . . . install exited abnormally sending terminatio signales . . .done sending kill signals . . . done disabling swap . . . /dev/mapper/volgroup00-LogVol101 unmounting filesystems . .. blar ... you my safely reboot your system ISO that i am running is CentOS-4.4-i386-binDVD.iso System Spec - AMD Athlon 64 2211Mhz - L1 Cache: 128k 18120MB/s - L2 Cashe: 512k 15459MB/s - Memory: 2619MB/s - Chipset: Intel i440BX - BIOS Version/Date phoenix Technologies, LTD 6.00 PG, 02/07/2005 - SMBIOS Version: 2.2 - HDD1: Serial ATA -80GB - HDD2: IDE - 80GB - Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 6600 256MB Troubleshooting - in vmware i have set the guest operating system as, Redhat, Other linux, other linux 2.6 kernel. Redhat enterprise linux 4. - I have an IDE and SCSI hard drive. I have tried installing CentOS on both of these via VMware. - i have tried to Boot via IDE and SCSI in VMware on both hard drives. - installing Redhat 9 still outputs same error. - installing via text mode my guest would be that the BIOS version needs updating or a new driver needs installing. But it's only a guess. I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction, been tring to figure this out or a couple of days now and not gettig very far. My knowledge in linux is still in it's early stages. Many Thanks Rich |
I've installed CentOS 4 in VMWare a couple of times and never had any problems like this. You say it happens when installing packages -- does it give you any errors about corrupt package files? Did you check the MD5 sum of the ISO you are using to make sure you didn't get a corrupt download? VMWare emulates pretty vanilla hardware and I've personally never had any issues with getting Linux to play nice with it.

Ive tried installing many Versions both in vmware and directly.
-Fedora 5,6 -Redhat 9 -CentOS 4 Ho do i check the MD5 Sum against the iso? Thanks Rich |
When you download iso's there is generally a separate file that contains the proper checksum for the iso. The syntax would be md5sum *.iso. (replace the * with the name of the iso you are trying to check. If you have multiple iso, you could use the *.
