Glad to hear it

Apart from the odd weird (read unexplained/unexplainable) hiccup I love the service provided from OVH.

Sometimes things work, sometimes they don't.

Why that is I leave to the god in charge of kicking servers.

Try reinstalling with the defaults, then follow these instructions to get an official CentOS setup screen which you can customize as you want:

Why don't you try a bit more than 4GB. Maybe it is low on space?

Are you actually defining a / partition?

i have just this eve ordered a sp-09 storage and i will say it got deployed very quick within the hr
but....
when i try to change the partitions and re-install the os it dies
Distribution: centos5 - 32 bits
Language: English

Stage Action Time Status
0 Reinstallation initialization 0:11 done
1 Installation system initialization 1:10 done
2 Installation system reboot 5:10 done
3 Partition layout of hard disks - done
4 Copy of the system 5:50 done
5 Reboot of new system 26:50 error
6 Configuration of new system - to do
7 Verification of new system - to do
8 Patches and operations after installation - to do



System installation has failed.

For information, this is the error message :

Server does not awake after hard reboot !

i have entered a ticket from witch it just looks like they have re-installed the default partitions and os
and each time i try to change the parts and re-install it just hangs like up above
i know my setting work as i did the same thing just under a month on a sp-09 storage
please can one of you ovh ppl ask the support team to rebuild the box or give me a new one
