I see some posts about installation problem on UEFI systems. Specifically, Anaconda says an error that an EFI boot partition has to be made. Well I do such thing but it doesn't work.
I have a NVME which I want to install / only. There is another 1TB SATA disk which I want to put /home and /opt and SWAP on it. Is this configuration correct? Do you see any problem with that?
Code: Select all
NVME
/boot/efi => 200MB
/ => 150000MB => ext4
SDA
/home => 500000MB => ext4
/opt => 150000MB => ext4
SWAP => 20000MB
Please let me know what does anaconda exactly search for.
I have had problems with UEFI problems in the past. Does your mobo allow you to use straight BIOS?? The other problem that I see is that you have allocated only 200MB for /boot/efi. RH now recommends that you allocate at least 1-2GB as I now recall, the previous minimum was 500MB. Here is my current setup:
[On a 500 GB SSD]
/boot => 1.1 GB
/ => 33.2 GB
/home => 99.7 GB
/usr => 66.4 GB
/var => 10.7 GB
/tmp => 5.4 GB
/vm4 => 144.1 GB (Vitural Machines)
/backup => 104.7 GB
SWAP => ~48 GB
[On a 2TB HDD]
/backup2 => 2.0 TB
In general *I* have found that IF you can avoid UEFI do so. I tried to install CentOS 7.1 I think it was and tried to use the default (UEFI [/boot/efi]) and it blew up on me, the second I switched it over to straight BIOS (/boot) I had ZERO problems with the install and getting the machine to boot. Have things changed since 7.1 and 7.4?? I don't know, that said see if you can set it to simply boot in straight BIOS and change /boot/efi => /boot and increase the size from 200MB => at least 1.0 GB
As to the rest you are going to need to add that to your /etc/fstab table so that it mounts as the time of start up.
