I'm installing RHEL 6.3 on Trenton TSB7053 PICMG 1.3 system host boards (SHB) w/Xeon E3-1200 series and i5/i7 platforms w/C206 PCH w/o issue. Also do installs to the Trenton JXT6966 SHB w/Xeon 5500-series CPU's and Intel 3420 PCH. No issues there as well. Only issue I have run into lately is EHCI driver issues from RHEL 5.8 on the TSB (have to disable Power Technology in BIOS or set Package C-State to "C0" if for a "permissive" setting) due to USB mse/kyb blinking on/off. This issue goes away with RHEL 6.x. Other issue I have fought lately is: RHEL 6.3 on JXT6966 SHB on Trenton BPX6929 (PICMG 1.3 backplane) running Intel quad-port NIC and a specific 1553 card. This issue revolves around ordering in PCIE between the expansion cards, known errata on PCIE switches, known errata on Intel 83576 chip on the quad-port, known errata on Intel 5500 and support for AER in RHEL. (It just don't mix but I do have them all working!) All installs are from DVD media to local HDD. No PXE booting.<BR>

I know it's not your problem; but these are the issues that I have been wrestling with in the past few months. Hope this helps someone....<BR>

I did the install of RHEL6.3 on a couple of DELL PowerEdge servers last month from DVD ISOs I’d downloaded from RedHat’s site at the time and didn’t see an issue like that.<BR>

Is the /mnt/sysimage something in your ramdisk or are you loading from a kickstart server that is exporting the filesystem?<BR>
<BR>

Note: Starting with 6.1 or so RHEL introduced biosdev support to determine where NICs physically are so that what was eth0 might now be something like en1 or p1p1 assuming your hardware supports that. The Dells I was loading do – not sure if your HP does but if you’re relying on the network for the install it could be an issue with the name not being what you expect.<BR>

Has anyone seen a problem with installing RHEL 6 update 3 on new hardware? it starts up ok, but gets about 120 packages into the installed and forgets where the RPM's are located ("'Can't find /mnt/sysimage/var/lib/rpm' ), sends a error message then aborts. Processor is an i5 and this has an EFI bios on it... <BR>
