I am installing PIAF on bare metal now, had it working fine in virtualbox, bought myself a 2.5 inch 30 GB IDE harddrive from my local computer shop for £20 and it went into my old headless Dell laptop I took off a friend, just connected it up to my monitor for installation, as soon as this lovely script you guys invented finish, monitor off and under my bed this socker will live access via ssh + webGUI, for now my Iphone + a softapp will be my exten, I’ll have to ebay a voip phone later. I am really loving Asterisk, reading at the moment .’Asterisk™: The Definitive Guide by Leif Madsen, Jim Van, Meggelen,Russell’ Bryant + following example in virtualbox, finding love for dialplan coding, very interesting book on the inner working of Asterisk and the telephony technology. Oh, I love working in Linux at the CLI prompt. Continue to do the good work Nerdvitlle and the PIAF team, Oh!.. sh*t!! I just look up and saw ‘end_requesst: I/O errror, dev hda, sector’ I have to go…

This is my first time with a PBX system so I’m fairly new to this. I was trying to follow allow with these steps and I got up to last step. X-lite is not available after I set it up. Then, I went back to the steps and the screenshot has 701 as the username while the instruction suggest to use 201. I guess I’m kind of confused and have no idea where 701 came from. Please help me out. Thanks in advance.

[WM: It’s just a screenshot from one of our servers. Use 201.]

Just a heads up:

I ran into a problem installing this on an old Dell Inspiron 8500. The system would boot off of the USB stick, and load to:

running /sbin/loader

then hang.

Poking around the CentOS forum, there were a number of boot-time options suggested, but the one that did the trick was to add

acpi=off

to the boot string (hit when given the list of options).

CentOS is installing nicely as I type this. 🙂
