Sequence of events:
- Start install CentOs 7.2 using Everything ISO in Vmware vSphere 5.5
- Choose Server with Gui, manual partitioning, encrypted
sdd
contains/home
,/data
- Initial boot is great, fast, works; requests partition password, login with password
- Start terminal, run
yum update
and thenyum upgrade -y
(I know wrong order) - Do other stuff, eventually it HANGS in VMRC console, and I reboot gracefully with guest tools shutdown
- On restart, GRUB2 has two kernels to choose, either one has same result
- In either case, hangs before requesting partition password, eventually times out during
plymouth
and I getdracut
shell
It warns me that there is no swap
partition detected at /dev/mapper/swap
. Note that I put swap
to cover the entire sdc
on its own, so it takes most of the space.
I am so lost, so any help is appreciated.
