Oh hello :) Thanks for the quick reply. When I first ran the setup, auto partitioner gave me only the PALO partition and a huge / partition. After the installation, I couldn’t boot.
So I ran the setup again and got a 24mb Palo, a 285mb /boot and a logical volume containing / and swap. / is flagged as bootable. After restart, I’d get a bad LIF number message. What would be the correct partitioning schema? Is there anything I can check at the end of the installation, before reboot, to confirm that palo config went fine? Then I tried to NetBoot then chroot... I’ll give the automatic net install a chance today. Let me know how I can help. Once the machine is up, I can also provide secure remote access if needed.
