Cannot Install 3.9.1 (Soft Lockup - CPU Stuck)

@HB7 Welcome the Rockstor community.

This is likely due to a kernel or kernel driver incompatibility, likely due to our now old 3.9.1 CentOS base.

Yes, you could build yourself a Release Candidate stage Rockstor 4 installer. It’s on the verge of being our next stable release and has far newer everything than are rather old prior installer and we are now based on openSUSE Leap 15.2.

Take a look at the following GitHub repo for our open source Rockstor 4 installer maker:

The following forum thread was it’s introduction:

No downloads yet but when there is they will be build in exactly the same way. Only likely more out of date that one you build for yourself as during the build process all current packages across the board, bar the rockstor package itself, are pre-installed.

If you have difficulties with this process start a fresh forum thread detailing how far you got and what’s not working as expected.This will hopefully lead to better documentation as we move ever closer to the final release which will be the start of a new Stable channel run. N.B we do have a hopefully last outstanding issue where stable subscription is fault, but I hope to release a fix for that in testing later today.

Hope that helps.
