Express Disc troubleshooting

Amahi 7 Express Disc Toubleshooting

Second reboot is not occurring (install is not finished)

One reason for this to happen is a wrong setting in the Network page of your Installer.
It says by default
Hostname: localhost.localdomain

I filled in ams.ldqk (substituted localhost by ams and localdomain by ldqk)

If you substitute for the localdomain part the value you entered at your Control Panel - Home Domain this error will occur. The installer will not finish correctly and the second reboot will never happen.

Example: I filled in ams.ldqk.net in the network page. (localhost=ams and localdomain=ldqk.net) In my Control Panel - Home Domain I filled in ldqk.net Then the installer ends in errors which you can only find in the amahi logfiles. Nothing is displayed at the screen.

The solution was to enter in the Network page of the installer for localhost.localdomain ams.ldqk Most likely the second dot caused the problems.

Reboot Loop

Sometimes, the express cd installer gets caught in a reboot loop.

It asks you to reboot, then it tells you it needs to reboot again over and over. If you are one of the lucky ones experiencing this, here's what to do:

If there is no network, you can try this:

• Select debug
• system-config-network (configure your network interface correctly ( I used static ) / also make sure your dns are configured exit the system-config-network)
• /etc/init.d/network restart
• check that eth0 has started, if not edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0; modify ONBOOT=no to ONBOOT=yes; then issue the "ifup eth0" command.
• ConfigAmahi (wait for a while untill it says reboot, then reboot)

Yum Update

If you try to do yum update after install and have problems, try this solution.
