# There seems to be a procedure that works if you are booting Centos7 from your removable SATA drive in your labs and it doesn't connect to the Internet...<br>Note: If you cannot connect, you should see on the top right-hand corner before you login such as: '''<span style="font-size:1.5em;font-family:monospace;">[...]</span>'''<br>This means there is no Internet connection.<br><br>If that is the case, perform the following steps:<br><ol type="a"><li> Quickly press the power button (do not hold it down!). This should put it in suspend mode. You can confirm it is in suspend mode if the blue power light is flashing.</li><li>Wait a few seconds, then press the power button again. This will go out of suspend mode. You can confirm is is not in suspend mode if blue power light is solid (not flashing).</li><li>In a few seconds, the symbol on the top right-hand side should appear like: <span style="border-color:black;border-width:2px;border-style:solid;"> &nbsp; &nbsp; </span>.<br>This symbol means that you can connect to the Internet.</li></ol><br><br>
# A problem with kernel panic discussed on this thread and is on going as of Jan 10, 2017 (solved but Mark F. is facing difficulties after performing an aborted upgrade on my centos1-like VM which I was using for teaching ULI101. This solution doesn't help Mark but the advice given on this thread might be relevant to some). Here is link: [ [https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=51911&start=10 Kernel panic at restart after so update] ]
# We keep (but rename to something more appropriate) the existing HDD option in OPS235 labs because some students are requesting to install CentOS on their laptop (dual boot or single boot) and so continue doing the lab with all 3VMs on the laptop itself. So no VMs inside a VM stuff for them, except maybe name the labs from external HDD to 'using your own laptop' or some such.
