We got the SLES10 install to work. We did the format at the activate DASD screen. When we got to the partitioning screen we created our mount points and left the files system as ReiserFS. This worked. We think our format error occured when we tried changing the ReiserFS to EXT3. Our VDISK swap still does not work but we will try to work thru this. In any cse we are installed and can begin looking at what SLES10 provides.

This is the format that fails. We will try this earlier format and see what happens.

Once you activated the DASD volumes you wanted to use, did you (on that same YaST screen) also format them?

I will use the suggested paths to CD images. It seems very straight-forward. I will also test the install process to a VLAN guest and see what happens. I will post back if I encounter any errors or problems.

We've since downloaded the DVD, and will just mount that and point to it for our next attempt at SLES 10. There's no fancy SLES10/CD1 and CD2 stuff; just copy all the CDs (probably CD number 1 last, so that all of the checksums are correct) to a single directory, and give it a shot. -- .~. Robert P.

Our current zVM Linux strategy is to use VSWITCH and we run VLAN enabled SLES8 and SLES9 guests thru VLAN and a VLAN trunk enabled Cisco Switch. In the past we have downloaded the SLES boot files to VM, IPL'd the boot kernal and use FTP to access the full install SLES media. Will the SLES10 inital boot kernal allow for VLAN enabling the install kernal to communicate with the installation FTP Server? Is anyone else using FTP Server for the inital install and how are you creating your network access and FTP Server directory structure for the initial SLES10 guest?
