Centos Wont Load | Check if Polkit Service is Running
I have Centos7 installed on my machine but it will not load up. When loading it sends me to a screen and says check if polkit is running. Please see the picture https://imgur.com/a/6UtySYy | Anyone know how to fix this? | I can get to the command line.
I tried installling a new version of centos7 but the usb disk fails when I try to select the partition to install centos7 on. That probably because there is already a copy of centos installed.
Any help is greatly appreciated, this is my bottleneck.

Re: Centos Wont Load | Check if Polkit Service is Running
Do you have older kernels ?
If yes, what happens when you try to boot an old kernel?
You can boot from live dvd media to check the system logs. The CentOS DVD has a rescue option that can also be used.
What have you done recently ?

Re: Centos Wont Load | Check if Polkit Service is Running
I don't have any older kernels.
I am booting from live media.
I tried to use the rescue option but it didnt do anything. When I was to choose 1 I choose it but does nothing.
I am trying to wipe a hard drive out and install Centos but the partition is locked in gparted that I am trying to wipe out.

Re: Centos Wont Load | Check if Polkit Service is Running
I found this article where the author says its his fiailed hard drives.
viewtopic.php?t=71560
So that has to be the issue for me.
So now the game switches into options,
option1) learn how to format a disk with an IS on it already
option2) learn to fix the disks.

Re: Centos Wont Load | Check if Polkit Service is Running
sda needs to be formatted and have Centos installed. But how I used gparted before but cant because the hard drive is locked.
sdc, sdd, sde, need to be reduilt into a raid5. But how? I do not know how to use the raid tools.
