I was trying to install CentOS 6.9 [downloaded from official website (LiveDVD)] in a new assembled PC. The PC came with Windows 10 Pro preinstalled. The specifications of the PC are as follows:
- Inter i5 7th Gen Processor
- 4 GB RAM
- Asus H110M-CS Motherboard
- 2 TB HDD
There was no DVD drive, so first I used a portable DVD drive to install CentOS 6.9. When DVD is selected from the boot menu, the installation will start and after some time the following error occurs.
Since the portable DVD installation was failing I tried to install from a bootable USB. But I got the same error again and again [I successfully installed Ubuntu from the same bootable USB after these failures]. Then also I tried to install CentOS with no luck. I changed the BIOS settings like Legacy USB, Fast Boot, but no success.
Please help me to install CentOS successfully. Any help is appreciated.
UPDATE:
At last I tried Netinstall method. I followed this link https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2011/centos-6-netinstall-network-installation/
But the installation is stuck at step 3.17, after clicking write changes to the disk.
The PC is stuck that both mouse and keyboard is not working. Restarting is the only option left. What to do now? Please help.
ERRORS I GOT:
Earlier I got kernel panic (1st attached image) as the only error. But now I am getting some dracut warnings like:
- no root device "block:/dev/mapper/live-rw" found
- boot has failed. To debug this issue add "rdshell" to the kernel command line.
