#5283 obsolete CentOS 5.0 Final installer will not start on Windows 7 i386 Host surlypatron
Description

I am unable to boot from the CentOS 5.0 Final i386 installation DVD, the ISO file for which I have mounted in VirtualBox.

Whenever I boot from the DVD, the installation screen appears, and I issue the command linux text and press ENTER. There is some output to the console, but the VM freezes at

NET: Registered protocol family 2

The SHA1 checksum of the installation disc, CentOS-5.0-i386-bin-DVD.iso, is:

The VirtualBox log file is attached.

#1225 duplicate CentOS 5.1 "crashes" when VirtualBox "aborts" the VM. LaughingBoy
Description

I have often come back to my Fedora 7 x64 computer to find the CentOS 5.1 in an "Aborted" state. All it was doing was sitting there idly at a VT, or at the login screen.

I checked the logs (Machine menu -> Show Log...) and there are four logs, but for some reason when I select them individually to save them, I'm only able to save two. I will attach the two that I am able to save shortly.

I assume the logs provide enough detail, but if they don't, then feel free to ask for more.

Host: $ uname -r -s -v -p -i -m Linux 2.6.23.15-80.fc7 #1 SMP Sun Feb 10 16:52:18 EST 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64

#2707 fixed CentOS 5.2 (RHEL5) x86 installation crashes on WinXP SP3 host ColdShine
Description

The host system is a Core2 Duo T5550, with SATA AHCI hard drive and IDE DVD-ROM (not used here), running Windows XP SP3 (almost up-to-date). On a freshly-created virtual 3GB hard drive (130GB+ free on the actual real one), I start a text-mode installation of current (5.2) CentOS Linux (a rebranded Red Hat). The only non-default options are the lack of a swap partition After selecting KDE Desktop in place of GNOME.

At some point, during the installation of components from the 2nd disk, the installer (or more seemingly, a child process of its) initiates a system shutdown, messing the character-mode graphics of the installer, as visible in the attached screen shot.

A similar thing happens using the graphic installer, except the aborting process just terminates, leading the installer into thinking the installation is complete (very prematurely), without whatsoever error message.

In any case, the hard drive is left unbootable. I tried VirtualBox 1.6.6 and 2.0.6, with identical results. With the 2.0.6, I also tried adding 'noacpi' everywhere I was asked for kernel loading options, with absolutely no difference. The installation CD images are checked for integrity with md5sum against the values on the download mirror.

I remember succeeding in installing this very same guest OS, except with an older version of VirtualBox (maybe 1.6.4? I'll investigate).

Attached are: a screen shot of the crash (hit Home+P at the first graphical glitch), the logs (1.6.6 and 2.0.6) as they were when the crash happened, and how they were after I had to power the VM off, and the VM XML configuration files.
