almalinux 92 on EFI systems #99
Comments
I think AlmaLinux 9 (and other RHEL 9 derivatives) isn't officially supported yet, see: #57. That said, it seems that the installimage version via NFS is different from what is here on GitHub (similar to issue #89), at least on the AX41-NVMe server. For example, it has this change: --- a/functions.sh
+++ b/functions.sh

i have hetzer dedicated server i dont want to install almalinux 8 when try to install almalinux 9 using installimage I got this error ERROR: we do not yet support almalinux 92 on EFI systems is this possible to be fixed soon ? or is there anyway I can install it myself ? Thanks |
@uzairjhandir Yes you can: But look at the comments, it's a workaround. Just make sure you exclude grub2 from updating: Again, this is a workaround and not a long term solution. |
Hi, |
Install Alma9 and change So remove "--root-dev-only" No guarantees it will survive an update so test it before using it in a prod environment |
Hi, When I run installimage, I get the error Best regards, |
Start rescue mode and run: |
Hi there duderuud! :) Thank you so much for always coming back to this topic & offering these tips - they've really helped me successfully install Almalinux 9 on a new AX42 server from Hetzner. I managed to have mine working fine for more than a day, and a series of reboots were done without any issue between installs of other software like Plesk, Litespeed & Redis - however it has now just failed again, despite the exclusion of grub2 from yum's update. Is there any way to recover it in the current state, or will I need to wipe it clean & reinstall Almalinux 9 from scratch again? Also, do you have any further ideas of what could've possibly caused it to fail like this? I'm in the middle of migrating from a server running CentOS 7 to a new one, which I was hoping could've run Alma 9, and have various trial periods which will only last 14 days - so I'm working against the clock here haha! |
No problem, happy to help. It isn't possible to restore a snapshot so you have to reinstall using the rescue mode described above. Without knowing any details it's impossible to tell what went wrong. Not a 100% sure if the latest Grub patches are applied in Alma 9 already but just to be certain:
That should fix the Grub issues. And if you are up for some broadening of your horizon, check out Centminmod I use it on all my servers, it's really great. |
