Phase Two

The candidate can report to the examiner after completing the phase one questions. However he cannot get the confirmation for the successful completion of remaining (except Compulsory) questions. The examiner will give you a CD which will put your system onto a small installation after typing phase two in the installation screen. After the installation the candidate will be in grub screen asking for OS. When you enter into the OS, Kernel Panic error will occur. The following problems are the components of Phase Two.

Boot Problem (Arguments May be edited in /boot/grub/grub.conf).
fstab Problem ( /etc/fstab file may be edited).

After completing the Trouble Shooting and Maintenance Session the candidate can go for a break.
