CENTOS 7 Installation - BIBM sees entire disks
Posted: Tue Aug 23, 2016 11:29 pm
Hi,
This is a continuation of an earlier thread I had in the "Technology" section. Now that I figured out why I couldn't burn the DVD, I want to find out about the problem I'm having when trying to setup the CENTOS 7 as dual-boot with Windows 10.
As I mentioned in that earlier thread, I created a partition on the hard drive (HD1) for CENTOS, and I made a boot item with only that "CENTOS" partition on HD1.
Then I unplug the DVD player and reboot to BIBM, and I select the CENTOS boot item.
That give me the popup saying to reboot at that point, so I plug the DVD player in (which has the CENTOS installation) and reboot.
The CENTOS installer starts running and i have to select the Troubleshooting and then install with basic screen and then i get a page where I can configure things, including the disks.
I go to the disk configuration and it shows both the NVMe SSD (HD0) and the 1TB HD (HD1), with their full sizes instead of the 8GB CENTOS partition I setup on the HD1.
Shouldn't BIBM be showing only that CENTOS partition?
I've tried the above both with swap enabled and disabled and it behaves the same.
Pls advise.
Thanks,
Jim
