    Red Hat 6 Installation Guide RHEL 6 InstallScreenshots

    Updated by JR on Jun 16, 2011 in Featured, Install Guides, Linux, Most Popular, Red Hat (RHEL) | 162 comments

    This is Red Hat 6 RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) installation guide, step-by-step

    walkthrough with screenshots. Current version of Red Hat 6 is Beta, but also this RHEL 6 Beta version looks very stable

    and good OS, so thats why I decided to write this RHEL 6 Installation guide.

    The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Beta is available on the following architectures:

    i386

    AMD64/Intel64

    System z

    IBM Power (64-bit)

    Download Red Hat 6 Beta DVD images here.

    Some of the many improvements and new features that are included in Red Hat EnterpriseLinux 6

    Power management tickless kernel and improvements through the application stack to reduce wakeups,

    power consumption measurement by Powertop, Power Management (ASPM, ALPM), and adaptive system

    tuning by Tuned, all enhance more efficient system power usage.

    Next generation networking comprehensive IPv6 support (NFS 4, CIFS, mobile support [RFC 3775],

    ISATAP support), FCoE, iSCSI, and a new and improved mac 802.11 wireless stack.

    Scalable filesystems ext4 file system provides support for larger file sizes and significantly reduces repairtimes over ext3. XFS is a high-performance file system that supports extremely large files and is optimized for

    large data transfers.

    Virtualization KVM includes performance improvements and new features, sVirt protects the guest and host

    from unauthorized access, SR-IOV and NPIV deliver high-performance virtual use of physical devices, and

    libvirt leverages kernel resource management functionality.

    Enterprise security enhancement SELinux includes improved ease of use, application sandboxing, and

    significantly increased coverage of system services, while SSSD provides unified access to identity and

    authentication services as well as caching for off-line use.

    Development and runtime support SystemTap improvements, ABRT is a new framework for simplecollection and reporting of bug information, and improvements are made to GCC (version 4.4.3), glibc (version

    2.11.1), and GDB (version 7.0.1).

    On this guide I use Graphical Installer. There is also Kickstart automated installation method and Text-based Installeravailable. And I install this machine for Software Development Workstation and testing environment. So package

    selection is following: Desktop, Web server, Databases, Compiling tools, Java. Same method works also for servers,

    normal desktops and other setups, but of course different software selection. So lets begin installation

    Burn Downloaded Image to DVD and Boot Computer Using Red Hat 6 Installation DVD

    Check RHEL image MD5 sum and burn image to DVD with your favourite CD/DVD burner. And boot computer using

    Red Hat Installation DVD.

    Hi JR,As you said i deleted D partition and am having approx 80GB of free space.In step 12 I selected use free space

    option and Review and Modify partition layout and by clicking next it is throwing an error message that could notallocate requested partitions: not enough space for LVM requests.please help me regarding this.

    waiting for your reply,

    thanks in advance.

    ReplyJR / October 24, 2011

    Try to select Create Custom Layout and Review and Modify partition layout instead and check that itshows that you are really having 80 Gb free space? Then you can press back button and your hard disk stays

    untouched. :)

    Sometimes Windows is not working as expected when you try to delete/manage partitions

    Hi again kishore,

    I can found some Fedora 12/RHEL 6 bug reports same issues, but nothing useful, howto solve your problem.

    I recommend you to create manually your custom partition layout.

    You could create example something like following setup with our 80 Gb space (leave your Windowspartition untouched):1. Standard partition /boot 500 Mb ext4

    2. LVM Physical Volume All free space3. Create LVM Volume Group (example vg_rhel)

    3. LVM Logical Volume Swap 1-1.5 * RAM (Example if you have 2Gb ram then Swap size is 2Gb-3Gb)4. LVM Logical Volume Root / All free space

    If you want separated home partition then create example 10-20 Gb root partion and use all free space forhome partition.

    Please let me know, if you have some problems with this setup?

    And also select the second option in installation screen (i.e. Start installation with basic videodriver)

    @shikha

    Maybe RHEL is wrong Linux distribution for your use, if you wont make RHEL subscription, better alternative

    could be CentOS 6 which is community version of RHEL or another good option is Fedora which is also communityversion but its much more desktop usage oriented than RHEL or CentOS.

    Are you sure you got exactly same error with quotesyou shouldnt get following part?

    setting up group processWarning: Group GNOME does not existWarning: Group Desktop does not existWarning: Group Enviorment does not exist.No packages in any requested group available to install or upgrade

    If you want install full KDE then use example following command:

    yum install @kde-desktop

    No the exact error which I get is:

    Till RHN support will be disabled its same and then I get:Setting up group process

    Warning: Group GNOME Desktop Enviorment does no exist.No Packges in any requested group available to install or update.

    have to give certificaion exam on RHEL6 Next year Feb and hence I want to practice on the same.Today I again installed Linux on vmware to try to make that one as a yum client..everything is working great except

    this error: X windows startup failed..falling in text mode..Also I think there is some issue with Dell video adapters/drvers, not sure though, which stops x windows to install. (Igot this clue from the below link:

    http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/ctrl-alt-f1-%3D-black-blank-screen-385376/

    I sent this forum a post however no one is replying therethey mentioned something about the same Dell issue in oldposts which I am unable to understand. It says something like this:

    The problem you are experiencing is most likely due to:

    (1) the kernel framebuffer video driver. Do you have bootsplash, usplash, splashy, etc for a graphical boot process?

    If so, you may need to disable it. Look in /boot/grub/menu.lst (if using grub) and look for vga=XXX where XXX is anumber, change it to vga=normal or delete vga altogether. If vga isnt listed, look for silent or verbose and deletethat to avoid using graphics during boot up.

    (2) the video driver that xorg is using. In particular Nvidia drivers often cause that. The only way I have found to

    completely get rid of the blank screen problem is to not use the Nvidia drivers, but that means my TV-outfunctionality is gone I just load the nvidia driver when I want to watch a movie and use nv the rest of the time.

    Also check this one:http://www.cromwell-intl.com/unix/openbsd-dell.html

    I am sure this is something to do with Dell Inspiron laptop settngs , not sure what :(

    Mike Thompson 2008-10-30 23:11:00 EDTYou can get around the Intel video driver problem by forcing X to use the vesadriver.

    Either modify your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to include:Section DeviceIdentifier Videocard0

    Driver vesa

    Or add the kernel boot parameter xdriver=vesa

    I get the same problems (Intel video and FC10 boot failure) on my Toshiba L10.To run the latest kernel(s) I have to overwrite the initrd with the one fromkernel 2.6.27-0.392.rc8.git7.fc10.

    First of all, if you really need RHEL 6, then you really need RHEL subscription, because RHEL is not usable withoutsubscription! But if you want Free RHEL then use CentOS 6, which is same linux with different branding

    If you want to try boot with xdriver=vesa boot option then do following:

    1. Access Grub boot menu2. Press e (edit)3. Select kernel line and press e (edit) again4. Add xdriver=vesa at the end of line5. Press Enter6. Press b (boot) to boot with modified kernel line

    xorg.conf is missing because its normally generated on the fly, but you can of course create xorg.conf manually and

    use it instead if you want.

    Hi jagvir,

    So you have Red Hat 9 CDs? Red Hat 9 was released on 2003, so its very very old, because it wasntEnterprise Linux at allI suggest you to try Fedora 16 or newer RHEL 6 or CentOS 6

    Does Red Hat 6 support i5 2nd generation processor well?

    Does GUI problem appear with Red hat 6 in i5 2nd generation processor?

    Hi JR,

    i have some doubts,

    two primary partitions are mandatory to install rhel 6.2? (/boot is mandatory, / mandatory)

    I tried with one primary partition it is not possible for me, because we can not assign the /boot in LVMs. So weneed to create /boot in our primary standard partition only.

    after that we need to create to root and swap partitions, at this time it throwing an error related to the disk contains

    maximum partitions already (the message is not exactly same, but the meaning is that).

    In my laptop i am already using win 7. rhel 6 is second os. i am using a dual boot.

    And also i am unable to install the rhel6 by selecting the first option i.e install or upgrade an existing system . If i

    select this option at the hardware checking, the display turns black and need to force stop my laptop(dell inspiron15r 5520, i5 3rd gen, 500gb, 4gb ram, only integrated graphic card is there i.e intel HD-4000).

    But i am able to install it by selecting the install the system with basic video driver.

    Is this problem with my laptop or rhel6?

    sorry for the long story, hope you understand.

    ReplyJR / December 27, 2012

    Hi sscr,

    You have to use extended partitions when you have more than 4 partitions. So do not make them all asprimary partitions. Also you can make swap partition on your LVM setup.

    Some reason your Intel graphics card doesnt work with RHEL installer, so thats why you have to selectinstall the system with basic video driver. Normally this is fixed when you install system and fully upgrade it.

    I also was getting:

    No Disks found

    No usable disks have been found

    But, my VHD was set to IDE controller 1. Taking the hint above, I switched it to SCSI controller, tried again, and it

    still failed. Then switched it back to IDE controller 1, and then it worked fine.Go figure!
