Centos 7 installation on Dell PE R410
Hello all,
I recently discovered I had not installed Centos on RAID properly so I wiped all raid configurations and drives, created a new RAID 1 array. But when I try to boot from USB to reinstall Centos I get the error: "failed to set moklistrt invalid parameter-something has gone seriously wrong".
Any help is greatly appreciated

Any help to be had from https://bugs.centos.org//view.php?id=15522
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Hello,
Unfortunetely not, I can't even get to that stage, the second I tell the server to boot from USB it comes up

I'll try a fix I found online with an old Centos. It it involves downloading a old ISO and using that.

Re: Centos 7 installation on Dell PE R410
I downloaded a old centos version and it worked, but once I log into everthing I get a bunch of "bad sector" errors.
I can only think of it being because of the two raid 1 configs. The RAID controller in the server is RAID 1, then the OS is RAID 1. SHould I set the drives up as no raid then install centos as raid 1 or set the raid controller drives to raid 1 and install centos without any configuration?

Re: Centos 7 installation on Dell PE R410
Hardware raid, software raid, or "fake" raid?
If the two latter, then the errors suggests bad drive(s).
Run this to check your drives: smartctl -a /dev/sdX (X=a,b,etc)

Thanks for the reply,
I can't run any command the console is just flooded with errors. Should I just put the hard drives in RAID 1 and install centos without configuration to the storage?

Boot from live media, I think Gparted Live comes with smartctl.
What's your hardware, motherboard and raid card?

That sounds like hardware errors.

Re: Centos 7 installation on Dell PE R410
I put the hard drives on RAID 1 and proceeded with the installation. But on the installer it says the space on the drives needs to reclaimed. So I reclaim the drive space and install centos etc. Then when the machine reboots the server shows the RAID has failed. Is it because I deleted the RAID config?
