Failed OEL7 boot from PXE

Hi
I was just attempting to boot a OEL7 image from PXE (7.4. Virtual Machine Installation Media) and the installation process halts with a warning (/dev/root doesn't exist). I am using OracleVM 3.3.1 and the guest VM was set up to be Paravirtualized.
Does anybody has any idea about what it is happenning?
Cheers and Thank you

Never mind. I downloaded the templates for OEL5 and OEL6 from the Oracle Repository.
Cheers

  • IMac fails to boot from DVD

    I want to repair my HD, but my iMac fails to boot from either the Leopard install DVD or the original install CD for OS X. What can I do?

    Gary:
    Thanks for your reply.  How and what with both installers:  I hold down the "C" key until the Apple logo appears. The only thing that happenshat happens is that the little "sunball" spins interminably.  I waited at least 10 minutes before deciding that it was hopeless.
    I hear ya regarding the external HD but unfortunately don't have one.   Mario   

  • Hyper-V 2012 R2 Gen 2 VM failed to boot from SCSI DVD drive using ISO image file

    Hello:
    I'm having a problem trying to install Windows 8.1 Professional on a new Gen 2 VM. I created a new Gen 2 VM using Hyper-V Manager running on Windows Server 2012 R2 and then told it to boot off DVD drive which pionts to the ISO file that I copied to the E:
    drive.  The ISO file mounted in the virtual DVD drive is the Windows 8.1 Professional x64 VL ISO that I downloaded off of TechNet. When I start up the VM to install the OS, I receive this error:
    "Synthetic SCSI Controller (Instance ID 7512B228-F7BC-4DD8-B4F4-72A5B042C2E9): Failed to Power on with Error 'The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.' (0x80070570). (Virtual machine ID 4195A398-3531-4A34-8588-D1FC3F3DD2D4)"
    Basically the SCSI controller can't read the ISO file. However, the IDE controller on a Gen1 VM can read and boot from the ISO just fine. Has anyone else run into this problem? Is there a way to resolve this issue and allow me to boot the ISO from a SCSI
    controller?
    Or is there a bug with the Hyper-V SCSI controller that makes it unable to boot from ISOs properly?
    -JP

    Hi JP,
    In addition , please try  :
    1. copy the ISO to an not shared local folder or drive
    2. uncheck the   "enable secure boot" in VM settings .
    If the issue still persists , maybe you can try to down load a new ISO file then try to boot again .
    Hope it helps

  • Hyper-V 2012 Gen 2 VM SCSI DVD device fails to boot from iso files

    I am running Server 2012 R2 in Hyper-V Server role for my home lab. I am trying to create a gen 2 vm, with Server 2012 R2 iso loaded in the SCSI DVD device, but every time I try to start the vm it fails to start with the following error:
    This is the current settings for the vm:
    This error occurs with any iso file loaded into the SCSI DVD device, and the error occurs even if creating a new vm from scratch. I have seen several similar gen 2 vm boot issues posted, but none with the exact issue that I'm having. The iso files all
    work fine when creating a gen 1 vm.

    Hi Kaedron,
    Maybe the UEFI files is broken and you need to download a new ISO to retry .

  • Boot from pxe

    I have a PXE target on fedora... Is it possible to install Solaris-10 through this PXE target, if yes, please provide the steps.
    Thanks in advance.

    if yes, please provide the steps.Ah... That's a lot harder. The media comes with scripts that do the work on Solaris, not Linux.
    There are several DHCP/jumpstart guides on the internet, including some for ISC dhcp servers (which is what any Linux distribution is likely to use). Configuring that properly is about 85% of the work. The rest of it is getting the netboot image file served by a tftp server and getting the NFS configurations set is the rest.
    I haven't worked with that in a while, so I don't have any type of checklist that I am sure works.
    Good luck!

  • HP 3500 MicroTower doesn't boot from disk!

    We are facing a very strange issue with HP 3500 , the machine can't boot from disk ! only way to get it to boot is to pxe boot it.
    Whenever it can't find a Pxe server to boot from it failed to boot from disk with an error that "No boot disk detected ... "
    Disks are detected correctly in the setup/bios and quick smart check tests are passing successfully.
    I have tried to disable the network boot but this didn't help as well, it indeed skipped the Pxe boot step but it still fails to boot from disk with the same error.
    The OS installed on the machine is Ubunutu 12.04
    Note:
    We installed extra 2 disks to this machine and 2 extra network cards as well , not sure if this is related but I thought it worth mentioning it.

  • Optical drive trashed and MB Pro will not boot from USB image

    Hello,
    New here but I have searched and tried all I know to get this MBP working right again. My disk drive is trashed and has been for some time now, this is why I have a bootable version of Snow Leopard on an 8G flash drive. When my MBP began acting funny recently and I went to disk utility to verify permissions and the disk. Both failed = must boot from disk to repair, thus my issue. For some reason by MBP will not boot from the usb image I have used previously??? Pressing C or Option during startup does not work. If I press Option, I only get the harddrive option, C yields nothing and the computer boots normally.
    Please!! let me know how / what you would do to resolve this. I don't understand why I have previously been able to boot from this same file on the same drive previously to repair my disk / permissions but cannot do so now. FWIW, I tried placing the file (OSX) on my external HDD to boot from, this did not work either (USB HDD).
    Thank you in advance for your input!!

    It isn't clear what you mean about your HD being trashed or which disk (HD or USB drive) you are trying to repair, but either way you need to start up from your Snow Leopard installer DVD & instead of installing anything go to the Utilities menu & run Disk Utility from there to repair either or both of the disks.

  • Sun V100 should boot from disk

    I read a lot of pages and manuel, but I do not find the right comand sequence in lom to set the boot mode from "net" to "disk".
    My system always does a "boot net".
    regards/TX
    TAB

    It isn't a LOM setting you need to review, but your settings in OBP.
    If you do not already have them, get the V100 documentation from Docs.Sun.Com
    [http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/v100.srvr?l=en&a=view]
    Connect to your system and get to its OK prompt. Review its current setting for boot-device (it should be at the default of `+disk net+` which means it will try to boot from the drive but when that fails it will boot from the network -- standard behaviour).
    If your system is failing to boot from the disk drive, you either have a missing or failed disk or you have a corrupt bootblock on that drive, or you have simply not installed a bootable OS to that disk.
    The documentation has everything you need for that V100.

  • How to boot from rescue disk

    Hi,
    I am running Macbook Pro, snow leopard 10.6.8
    My resuce disk is based on 10.6.4
    I tried to boot from rescue disk to repair the main disk.
    I failed to boot from the rescue disk as my rescue disk (from CD) is not being recognized. I tried multiple options such as holding down  "C", "c", "option" key etc while the system is restarting. Only the main disk was being shown as the bootable option (while holding down the option key when restarting) but not the rescue disk.
    I verified that my rescue disk is good. Infact, I could boot a Lion MacBookPro using my resue disk.
    Any inputs are appreciated.
    Thanks
    gb

    It was 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard). It was the same as the rescue disk version.
    thanks

  • Cat 6500 booting from bootflash: running Native IOS

    I have a couple of questions. I currently have a bunch of 6500's w/Sup1 and sup2's MSFC2's. The devices are set to autoboot. In my config I have the following lines:
    boot system flash bootflash:c6sup12-jsv-mz.121-22.E2.bin
    boot system flash slot0:c6sup12-jsv-mz.121-22.E2.bin
    My questions is, If the switch fails to boot from bootflash: will it then go on and try to boot from slot0:?
    What is the best practice for keeping boot system statements in the config?
    Should there be a backup statement?
    Thanks,

    You are correct. It checks the first line and if the image is available, it will boot from there. Otherwise it will move on to next in line. Your config look fine!

  • Kernal Panic when booting from AC Tech Tool disc

    Okay, here's one to stump y'all:
    I have talked to Apple Support, brought the machine to the best service center (Springboard Media in Philly) and no solution yet. Here's what happens:
    Whenever I try to boot up from the Tech Tools Deluxe disc that came with my Apple Care Plan, Tech Tools Pro or Disk Warrior, the G5 panics about two seconds after I get to the grey apple screen. This happens every time. Now the interesting thing is that this did not happen when Springboard tried the same thing. Could this be a hardware issue that just wasn't found? I was assured that Springboard ran extensive hardware and software tests and came up with nothing.
    I am at a loss. When I called Apple about this initially, the dude I spoke with decided that it must have been the media and promptly sent me a replacement Tech Tools Deluxe disc. Of course this did nothing. I am hoping someone on the forums will have some insight on this...
    Cheers,

    MDD Dual 867 | G5 Quad 2.5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout, Maker's Mark bourbon and a whole lotta RAM

    Hi- Thanks for the comments.
    Yes, non-Apple RAM is installed. I had faulty RAM and found it and it was replaced by a very reputable third party company. I should have mentioned all the steps I have gone through (prior to bringing it into Springboard):
    First noticed something was wrong when the machine was just shutting off w/o warning (ie like I pulled the plug). This happened a few times over the first two months of owning the machine, but seemed to progress (the G5 is only 4 months old). So that's when I initially tried booting from the TTD and TTP discs, to no avail. Then I went on to Apple Hardware test, which I could boot to fine w/o any problems. Ran the test in Loop Mode. The test would pass the everything up to the memory and then the machine would shut down. This happened quite a few times, so I know it wasn't a fluke. Finally got the AH test to confirm that one of my 2GB DIMMs was shot. That's when I sent it back, and continued testing with the stock 512MB (ugh) with no problems. However, even with the stock 512 in the machine failed to boot from TTD or TTP or DiskWarrior. Which made me think it was the optical drive. (And consequently when I started thinking this was above my head.)
    So called Apple, and we reset the PRAM, the NVRAM, unplugged the machine for two minutes etc. Standard reading from a script Tier One. All to no avail.
    Got the RAM back from the 3rd party (OWC), called them to confirm that the RAM I had sent back was faulty and that they had personally tested the DIMMs they sent back to me, which they confirmed had passed AH test. I then installed the 4GB, ran AH again - no problems. But, the booting from a CD/DVD problem still persisted.
    I really doubt whether it is the OWC RAM at this point, as I successfully tested it, as did Springboard. I must reiterate that Springboard had no problems booting from TTD, TTP, etc.
    I wish I could get a good photo of the KP when I boot from the TTD, cos the system profiler doesn't record it in the logs.
    I think this covers pretty much everything I have done so far... I look forward to your responses.
    And thanks for the luck!

  • OSD: What is the difference booting into winpe from pxe/media and booting in winpe from OS/Vista?

    Hi,
    We have a task sequence issue. Please see
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/56d783e3-214d-4027-84c1-c03cdf2013f1/osd-convert-boot-to-logical-path-failed-0x80070490-retrying-after-attempt-29-it-fails-and-says?forum=configmanagersecurity
    for more info. What I would like to know: what is the difference/is there a difference between:
    A.booting in PXE/bootable media to WINPE
    B.booting from OS (Vista) into WINPE => will this load the x86 boot image (it doesn’t look like it, I CAN see the image loaded ….wim is exactly the same when loaded from OS)
    The reason why I ask this: see link above: loading TS from PXE/media works fine, when choosing the exact same TS from WITHIN OS (Vista, 32 bit) the TS fails.
    Note: we set the ts step format system disk to NOT run if _SMSTSMediaType is OEMMedia (set in order to not format if prestaged media). So if for some reason this variable would be set booting TS from OS?
    Please advise.
    J.
    Jan Hoedt

    What I would like to know: what is the difference/is there a difference between:
    There is none.
    Starting a TS using Software Center will download the boot image that's assigned to the task sequence.
    PXE (depending on how many boot images are available on the PXE-enabled DP): the TS will use the boot image that's assigned to the task sequence (it will download that one and reboot into PE for a second time if the first boot image (see smspxe.log) does not
    match).
    P.S. Please don't post another question for the exact same topic. Thanks.

  • Restored 10.6 OS from CD and fails to Boot after Combo upgrade

    I have a clean install of Lion on my internal drive and an external clone of the HD from the previous Snow Leopard install. The Clone worked until I updated via the latest auto update. I have App's and other settings to transfer to Lion from this clone so want to get it working so I can ensure all the App's are upgraded to work on Lion or are deleted.
    After the external drive failed to boot I reinstalled the system from my Snow Leopard Install CD, not the 24-inch iMac (Mid 2007) restore CD.
    I then used Auto updater to install the combo and other updates to 10.6.8 this booted fine until I upgraded Safari 5.1 and Java - the last items that came up on the software updater. Upon restart, the boot failed in the last portion of the boot and at this point the Apple emblem went away and the round circle with diaginoal line apeared.
    On starting with the option key down, the clone disk 10.6.8 shows as being available, along with the internal Drive, for booting.
    Starting with "command + S" gets through to the last line of the process then states "waiting on Root"
    When compaired to a Snow OS that boots OK it is the last line of code before the curser is ready for entering a command.
    Can anyone tell me what to look for or how to repair this error so that I can get my data across to Lion. Thanks

    Well, in case anyone else has a similar problem I managed to fix the system by the following process:
    I reinstalled 10.6.0 from the retail Snow Leopard CD. The drive Booted OK but I needed to be upgraded to 10.6.8 to use the migration tool so I then upgraded using the Software Update utility. Boot failed again at this point and could not be fixed by anything I did.
    I then reinstalled 10.6.0 from the CD to try again, but the HD would not boot this time around.
    I downloaded CleanApp by Synium Software (http://www.syniumsoftware.com/cleanapp/) on a commendation from the famous eBook, "Take Control of installing Lion" by Joe Kissell of TidBits. I used this from my Lion HD to remove all orphan files, PPC files and Apps, and other junk. Snow Leapard still not Booting after repairs by various disk repair utilities including Apples.
    I Booted from my internal HD using Lion and ran SuperDuper to make a new Clone of the failed HD on a second external HD. Took a day and a night to run while I was at work, but the new clone would not boot at this stage so I ran SuperDuper again using the "Smart Update Backup" option. This just adds changed files or missing files to the clone. At the end of this process I had a running Clone that would boot on 10.6.0.
    I Booted from the second Clone and used the Software Update utility then to up grade in the two stages the Auto system used to bring my OS up to 10.6.8. This was successful and I had a Bootable Snow Leopard with no old Apps from which to Migrate my data.

  • 10.5.2 Update Failed - Computer No Longer Boots from HDD NOR Leopard DVD

    Hi. I hope someone can help me. I have one of the new 24" iMacs that has been working perfectly in 10.5.1. I started downloading the 10.5.2 update last night. About 130MB in, it said it had lost internet connection and stopped. I ran Software Update again and it resumed where it had left off, then said it had to be restarted to install, and went on its way. Then I got a pop up that said it could not be installed, or the install failed.
    Now when I boot, it spends a long time on the grey screen with the apple logo and spinning disc. Eventually it turns to the blank blue screen and just sits there. Then I tried booting from the Leopard DVD (i figured i would just restore from my latest Time Machine backup and try the whole process again), except when it gets to the part of verifying that Mac OSX is on my computer it pops up with a system log and says I can't do anything. I can restart, shutdown, or save log.
    What can I do?

    When you tried again in the morning did you have anything connected to the computer apart from your keyboard/mouse? If yes, then try again leaving the computer to "cool down" - you could even remove the power cord. When you come to try again, only the power cord and keyboard/mouse should be connected - and to go the shortest route, press the C key immediately after hitting the power button. Keep the key down until something happens ...if you get a black cursor, you're in business and can relax for as long as it takes to boot from the DVD. Try not to give up - I believe that constant powering down and troubled restarts stress the machine, perhaps causing it to overheat.
    If you do give up, try one more time to boot with the T key held down (again with nothing else connected) and if you boot into the Firewire logo screen, then connect a firewire cable to your other Mac and hopefully you will be able to get in.
