Chris, I have to admit i do not install the OS myself when it is CentOS, i delegate that specific task. I can try to get more info but i am currently on travel.
About your problem, i think you are victim of a border effect, and as usual, this kind of situation is difficult to debug. I suspect a flamethrower misconfiguration issue. I should try to test it myself but as i said, i am currently on travel and i was lacking free time to do that before. Anyway, the fact you did progress with the flamwthrower configuration change is a good sign (i think), we should continue in that direction. Sorry for not being able to do more. :-( Regards, ----- Mail Original ----- De: "Chris Stevenson" <cste...@mun.ca> À: oscar-users@lists.sourceforge.net Envoyé: Lundi 16 Février 2009 08:38:51 GMT -05:00 USA/Canada - États de l'Est Objet: Re: [Oscar-users] Succesful bootstrap... bad image built Thanks, Geoffroy - for your patience, as much as anything. There has to be something funny I've done, or something different about how my OS is set-up prior to installing oscar, vs yours. I'm always attempting installs on a bare-bones installation. Are you also installing oscar on a minimum OS installation (no added packages during OS install), or on an "all bells-and-whistles" workstation installation? Or, perhaps OSCAR just doens't like me. Or perhaps, it really is a hardware issue.
