[Solved] cant't install centos 8 stream on virtualbox

Post by boboshaq »

After I set everything on dashboar and click begin installation button, installation crashes on "downloading packages" step.
I can't export logs to ghost machine and can't send it to bug website because of errors :(((

Your text is suspiciously generic.

VirtualBox does not have a "downloading packages" feature that I know of. I suspect either this is spam prep, or you are talking about a third party build with third party features, or you are talking about installing some app inside the guest OS: which would not usually be a question for "hardware" forums.

Hmm. IP address is in Poland, not usually a hotspot of spam prep. I'll leave this post pending a major clarification of what the question is!

E.g. what is a "CentOS 8 Stream"? It doesn't seem to refer to installing CentOS 8 itself, I'm guessing that "stream" refers to some guest feature.

"CentOS Stream" is the rolling release version of CentOS.

I mean process of installation OS: Centos 8 Stream (centos_org/centos-stream/)
After setting everything in prepare window(root password,network,time-zone,etc.) and clicking "begin installation", process first formatting disk and creating partitions and after that is: downloading packages process. In this step error occur. Details in attached screens.

Ok, so as I said above - those are clearly software problems within the guest OS. I don't see what relevance VirtualBox could have. You should ask about CentOS issues on a CentOS support forum.

But, if you post a VM log then we can at least take a look to see if the virtual hardware is properly configured for an OS of this type. Make sure the VM is fully shut down, then right click it in the manager UI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

Hi,
I attached one more screen from debug log. It seems to some checksums are incorrect. What does that mean?

It seems to this was problem with ISO image. With new ISO image system was installed properly.
