I'm having some problems with installing RHEL 5.4 under VM. No, I've already completed a Suse and a CentOS4 under VM with little problems.
I can get it to boot (spooling decks to the reader and IPLing), but when attempting an FTP install, it hangs on: Unable to retrieve ftp://wac780l1022.ailife.com//outgoing/RedHat/images/stage2.img <ftp://wac780l1022.ailife.com/outgoing/RedHat/images/stage2.img> From the VM console: 14:14:17 INFO : setting language to en_US.UTF-8 14:14:20 INFO : need to set up networking 14:14:20 INFO : going to pick interface 14:14:20 INFO : only have one network device: eth0 14:14:20 INFO : going to do getNetConfig 14:14:20 INFO : dnsservers is 10.1.2.50 14:14:20 INFO : setting specified hostname of vmlnx000.ailife.com 14:14:20 INFO : doing kickstart... setting it up 14:14:25 INFO : starting to STEP_URL 14:15:34 ERROR : got to setupCdrom without a CD device 14:15:34 INFO : transferring ftp://wac780l1022.ailife.com//outgoing/RedHat/images/updates.img to a fd 14:18:43 INFO : transferring ftp://wac780l1022.ailife.com//outgoing/RedHat/disc1/images/updates.img to a fd 14:21:52 INFO : transferring ftp://wac780l1022.ailife.com//outgoing/RedHat/images/product.img to a fd 14:25:02 INFO : transferring ftp://wac780l1022.ailife.com//outgoing/RedHat/disc1/images/product.img to a fd 14:28:11 INFO : 508988 kB are available 14:28:11 INFO : transferring ftp://wac780l1022.ailife.com//outgoing/RedHat/images/stage2.img to a fd 14:31:21 INFO : transferring ftp://wac780l1022.ailife.com//outgoing/RedHat/disc1/images/stage2.img to a fd The file exists (using a FTP client): C:\ >ftp localhost Connected to ftpserver.xxxxxx.com. 220 Microsoft FTP Service User (ftpserver.xxxxxx.com:(none)): anonymous 331 Anonymous access allowed, send identity (e-mail name) as password.
