Some success using LCS - I added the following to the Herc conf file
0700.2 3088 10.0.2.5 -n /dev/net/tun -m 01:02:03:04:05:06
and then restarted the install.
I then managed to make progress using the URL install method and ftp - after
successfully logging on to the ftp server things started to happen. So far
so good.
Alas, suddenly it all evaporated into a puff of smoke - the following is a
snip from the log.
Can anyone explain why the install decided to shutdown -

I was going to say - try LCS.. not sure if RHEL6 supports it - but have
RHEL5.4 running under Herc with LCS... hopefully support wasn't dropped!

Thanks for the feedback - that seems to kill off Hercules as a platform -
unless there is some other way.(Any ideas ??)
Could be a bit tricky creating a DASD with the images and packages
folders.
don't have FC SCSI or CD/DVD ROM so that is ruled out - and NFS is also a
nogo :(
I'm not sure whether I should try LCS as the virtual OSA - does RHEL6
support LCS??

Hi all
Me again, I have made some progress and have hit another blockage.
I wasn't having any luck with Hercules under Windows XP so I chose
another
path.
I am now running on Ubuntu8.10 with Herc 3.07.
I can successfully IPL from the generic.ins file and the installer
starts.
I get to the SSH login and successfully get a session with
inst...@10.0.15.3 - much progress ;)
Next comes anaconda and here is where I am stuck. I want to install via
ftp - I am following the RHEL6 Installation Manual - unfortunately it
doesn't quite match what anaconda is throwing at me. Possibly a
documentation mismatch??
At the "Installation Method" dialog box I select "URL" - next I get a
"No
driver found" dialog to which I select "Select driver"
Next dialog is a combo box "Select Device Driver to Load" - I cannot
get
any
of the options to throw anything other than returning me to the "No
Driver
Found" dialog again.
The obvious choices for Networking are the last 3 - but alas they all
behave
in the same way.
There is a "Specify option module arguments" input but I don't have a
clue
what is needed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
B.
"Select Device Driver to Load" rings a bell, I've stumbled over that
during the F-14
development, too.
Bad news for you is that CTC isn't supported anymore as a installation
device in RHEL6,
I've added support for point-to-point devices back in Fedora-14.
