Hi,
I've spent part of today trying to install an XFS enabled RH 7.1
distribution based on your ISO cdrom image. However, when the system
reboots after the install completes, I get the following error just
after the kernel uncompresses:
invalid compressed format
-- System halted
>From searching the Web, there doesn't appear to be any conclusive
discussion about what this error means. The most likely answer is that
the kernel image has been corrupted, but I don't know how that could be
-- I put a separate 32MB /boot partition right at the start of the disk,
and use ext2 for it.
I'm using a NetServer LH3000 from HP with a NetRAID 2M card configured
for 2x36GB disks in RAID 1. I have tried installing a stock RH system
with the same file system layout, and it succeeds. If I have to create
my own kernel image, are there any fs conversion tools to help me? Also,
which kernel revision would you recommend (we are sticking with 2.4.9
for the most part since it appears more stable than the newer releases)?
If you can help, I'd appreciate it.
