The CentOS 7 installer does not seem to be capable of creating a clean install that will boot on a BIOS machine, at least not the box that I have. Centos 7 installation. Want to install only centos 7. Needs recovery disc. Centos 7 is supposed to simply boot and install on uefi systems.

After hearing the news that CentOS 7 had been published, I decided to install it on my computer. I downloaded the ISO image from the CentOS official website (the one named CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-DVD.iso) and then burned it onto a USB drive by using a tool named UltraISO. After that, I rebooted my computer and pressed F12 to choose my boot device.

(My GIGABYTE motherboard uses F12 to choose a boot device.) I chose this: UEFI: hp v245o 1100, where hp v245o 1100 is the USB name, and I suppose this is a so-called EFI boot from USB. After that, three menu selections are presented: • Install CentOS 7, • Test this media & install CentOS 7, • and Troubleshooting -. At first I decided to choose option 1 to let it display all its running messages, so I typed e and here is what I get: set params 'Install CentOS 7' linuxefi /images/pxeboot/vmlinuz inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=CentOS x207 x20x86_64 quiet initrdefi /images/pxeboot/initrd.img So I removed the quiet param and pressed CTRL x to start, then I got this: I have no idea what the fb is, and the installation process just stopped there.

So I decided to try the 3rd option (the Troubleshooting -->one) with no luck; I still cannot install this CentOS 7 and I got something like: >[7.471771] scsi 0:0:0:0: alua: not attached >[7.474665] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] no Caching mode page found >[7.474682] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through >dracut-initqueue[685]: Warning: Could not boot >dracut-initqueue[685]: Warning: /dev/root does not exist How I can solve this problem? /dev/root is missing. This can often be caused by a mismatched label or /dev/sdXx root device when booting from USB. When the dracut shell becomes available, create a directory: mkdir /mnt/ Mount different block devices until you have found the one that contains the USB installer(this typically doesn't happen on true/Virt CDROM mounts).

Once you find the /dev/ for the USB (for instance, if your system reads it as HDD, it might be /dev/sdd1), perform the command blkid on the device: blkid /dev/sdd1 This should tell you the UUID of the block device, you will want to write this down. Once written down somewhere you can use it, reboot the system.
