[BlueOnyx:00818] Re: Updates to boot choices?

[Tony Loosle]

Michael,

I was wrong.  The BX iso will not see the drive.    CentOS, does.   

I wonder what CentOS sees that the BX iso does not?  

Also, I still have that server for you.

If

1.)

/home must be a separate partition and it must have quotas enabled.

SELinux must be turned off. For that edit /etc/selinux/config and

SELINUX=disabled

Then save the changes and reboot. Reboot after
