Error installing Centos 7

Post by cce » 2018/10/22 15:01:06

Hi. I have a new PC: AMD Ryzen 5 200G processor and Gigabyte AB350 motherboard.


Download the latest version of centos: http://mirror.netglobalis.net/centos/7. ... D-1804.iso


At the time of beginning the installation I get this error:


tsc: Fast TSC calibration failed

Initramfs unpacking failed: xz-compressed data is corrupt

AMD-VI: Unable to write to IOMMU perf counter

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block

......


If you can give me a hand I would appreciate it very much.


Regards.-

That's normal and can be ignored.

That is not. Check the sha256sum of your downloaded file against the list published in the release notes for your version of CentOS to make sure they match. If not then redownload. Check your boot media to make sure it's OK - if using a USB stick then try a different one.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke

Thank you very much for the reply. Change the DVD player and it worked. I had to choose UEFI dvd boot ...

Thank you.-
