Live DVD install boot order
Hi All, SL-71-x86_64-2015-03-27-LiveDVDgnome.iso Dear Live developers, After installing the above, the boot order came up with the two rescue modes on top. Would you please correct this? Also, selecting the correct one give a kernel panic under SL 6.6's KVM. I will reinstall with the regular DVD Many thanks, -T -- ~~ Computers are like air conditioners.

Re: USB 3
Yes, thank you. I was just hoping to avoid opening the box - its a good half an hour :) operation.

Hi Konstantin,
I have been working on a direct install Xfce Fedora 21 flash
drive. I had to tweak the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg to get it
to boot off of all machine. (Which it does, unlike Live
USB -- faster too).
In FC21's Grub.cfg, the menuentry are all appear in order
on the boot screen. And, the rescue appears at the bottom.
Is the problem I noticed, a EL7 issue? I logged into the
SL7 hard drive (that won't boot) with my Live CD and took
a peek at grub.cfg, and that is the way they were written.
And YIKES! A Boo-boo in grub.cfg. Look at this:
menuentry 'Scientific Linux 7.1 Rescue 95621d90ac5d4ae8a262fd52ed537a16

This happened on the top two, but on the bottom third one.
Correcting that those two boo-boos made it so the rescue
sections could boot. But the main section (Nitrogen) give
a kernel panic:
Failed to access perfctr msr (MSR c1 is 0)
kernel panic -- not syncing:L VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(0,0)
I documented it over on:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1224434

Additional info:
If I comment out the linux16 entry from the Nitrogen menuentry, the
kernel panic goes away and I can boot normally.
Also, putting the ending bracked (}) in the right place on the two
duplicate rescue menuentries also enables it to boot.

In the Nitogen menuentry, I made this change (linux16) and addition
(initrd16):
# linux16 /vmlinuz-3.10.0-229.1.2.el7.x86_64 root=/dev/sda2 ro rhgb
quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8
linux16 /vmlinuz-3.10.0-229.1.2.el7.x86_64 root=/dev/sda2 ro quiet

initrd16 /initramfs-3.10.0-229.1.2.el7.x86_64.img

In particular, do not underestimate using a tab based session manager like RemoteNG, on my Windows laptop, to multiplex RDP and SSH sessions to all the hosts I need to access at a particular moment. That avoids having to use the virtual machine's console, and keeps the clipboard handling on the local display environment through the SSH and RDP sessions. I stand corrected Obi-Wan!

Personally, IMHO, why run anything critical that you can't run elsewhere (such as a brower, ssh client, etc) not in a VM? Basically because of the loss of functionality (a window inside a window, each with a different task bar, is a pain in the neck). I ran XP in a VM to run things for the longest time. Was tickled to get it to run natively. If Spice ever gets Coherence (seamless windows) going, that may be what I have to do. Wine runs well in Fedora Core 21 and is typically at or near the latest version. -T A suggestion ... try xfreerdp against a VM with Windows version supporting remote app mode. That should give you the Windows app as a dedicated window without the Windows desktop. https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/wiki/RemoteApp -- kind regards, David Sommerseth Thank you! -- ~~ Computers are like air conditioners.

Look for blue coloured ports or ones that are labeled SuperSpeed (SS). If those work then it is possible (unless they have been wired into the USB-2 ports on the motherboard.. had to fix that on a system last month). Finally if there is still doubt, check the BIOS of the system and if it needs any updates. Various 'problems' with USB compatibility are routinely 'fixed' by manufacturers after the system is shipped. but maybe i'm not seeing the entire picture? appreciate. -- Stephen J Smoogen.
