All,

Seems like the latest CentOS 7.6 and I are not playing well together, these days.

I’m attempting to use our pxeboot setup to install the latest CentOS 7 on a Dell PowerEdge R830. The install starts then gets to a certain point and hangs. That certain point is: FADT indicates ASPM is unsupported, using BIOS configuration

Now I’ve tried to see where the Active Server Power Management setting is in the BIOS, but have had no luck whatsoever. Any thoughts or ideas??

Thanks.

PEV

    Not that I’m enamored of it, but why BIOS and not UEFI? Dell’s running newer m/b that like UEFI over BIOS.

    Also, have you looked in the BIOS to see what those settings are?

  • Mark,

    I did go into the BIOS to see if that made any difference, and didn’t see anything to set/unset . That was the problem.

  • James,

    Actually we noticed that we’ve been running some old setup for our PXE boot/kickstart setup, so we’re going to try just doing it with UEFI and see where that gets us.

    One more thought: did you just go system setup->BIOS, or did you check the other two firmware items down there – the system setup menu gives three choices, for our servers.

    One thing you didn’t answer, what I was asking about UEFI. Did you check those settings?
