Hi,
I have a problem during the installation vicibox 9.0.2, after the manual restart I have an error as in the screenshot
to know that:
installation with DVD-ROM
physical server "LENEVO ThinkStation S20" not virtual machine
Intel® Xeon ™ processor
Intel chipsets
6GB memory

1) You've only shown 1/4 of the screen and the error is missing.

2) Maintenance Mode is almost always the result of a hardware error.

3) Conclusion: Either you have a bad CD burn (please verify the MD5) or a bad CD drive or hard drive.

4) I recommend you practice installation on a Virtual machine a few times (not just once) until you are used to the installation process.

5) I concede the possibility that the Vicibox 9.0.2 .iso installer is unhappy with your hardware. Lenovo workstations are not common for Vicidial installation. Consider an external (USB, which is stupidly slow, lol) CD Drive and a fresh HD. Burn a new .iso and verify the MD5.

Given the odds, and our experience, Emergency Mode is almost always a dying/dead HD.

This is most likely cause the machine you are installing to is EFI only or doesn't have the CSM layer enabled. I do not know if that machine can be setup to do CSM.

We've had problems with Dell too where they ship a mostly windows-centric EFI-only firmware. I know of a few people who have been able to get things working be tweaking the grub installation but I do not remember what they did. Once a server gets cheap enough I will buy one to test on.

I did not find the CSM option on the server bios, anyway I install all the versions of Vicibox on this server notably Vicibox 9.0.1 BUT the latest version 9.0.2 does not want to install.

Is there something different or special about the latest version ?

Based on this information, all I can deduce is that doesn't like you. If (perhaps) you were to provide something like, I don't know, the error message?

So ViciBox v.9.0.1 installs fine, but v.9.0.2 does not?

In that case, Install v.9.0.1, do the required patches in the bug fix thread, and let us know if you get stuck. I'm not sure why v.9.0.2 wouldn't install but v.9.0.1 does. If anything my experience has been the other way around.

Hi,
I changed the server and the installation was successfully completed.

thank you

Hello Guys, Newbie here with this same issue using 9.0.2 and I also tried 8.0.2 and got the same error on different Dell desktops. I get to the screen as above.
1. If i hit CTRL+D to continue I get
sulogin: cannot read /dev/tty1: operation not permitted

Failed to start default.target: Transaction is destructive

2. journalctl shows
started dracut pre-mount hook
systemd-fsck-root.service bound to unit dev-disk-by\x2uuid-xxxxx.device but unit isnt active
Failed dependency for File system check
Failed dependency for /sysroot

bobby,
try reinstalling the software that should correct the problem. Where are you trying to install it? Local machine? dedicated host? virtual server?

Have you tried with v.9.0.3?
