Installation Pauses After Entering the Root Password

Problem

When you start the installer for Oracle AVDF 20.5, it installs a few packages and prompts you to change the root password. After you enter the new root password, the installer immediately display some unmount commands and returns to the starting installation screen. You’re unable to proceed with the installation.

Cause

The ISO file was removed before the installation was completed.

Solution

After you enter the new root password and return to the starting installation screen, complete the following steps:

• Remove the ISO CD from the CD drive and restart the machine.

• When you’re prompted to log in, log in as ROOT.

• When promoted for the ISO file, add the ISO file from the media.
