Hi,

During

automatic deployment of ESX server 4.0 with a ks.cfg file on a virtual machine,

an error message appears during “mount-cdrom”:

-&gt; cmp :

/mnt/source/build_number : No such file or directory

It appears

5 times then the load of drivers continue and just after, the installation stop

with this message:

umount:

cannot umount /mnt/source: Invalid argument

umount: cannot umount /mnt/media: No such file or directory

Insert the ESX Installation media

Press &lt;enter&gt; when ready...

This

message appears as well as I use the .iso mounted by Workstation or by software

like Daemon Tools.

I can see

all the boot messages that I have parameter, the ks.cfg file too because I can

correct the syntax bugs, the install start normally (drivers for example…)…that

allow me to say that the cdrom is normally detected but it seems to miss

something.

I have

modify, between original .iso downloaded on the VMWare website and my personalized

version, only the isolinux.cfg file and add ks.cfg and boot.msg files that I place in the

repertory isolinux\.

I try to

modify my ks.cfg file to create the missing repertory but it doesn’t change

anything and I don’t see what to do now.

It could

come from the creation of my .iso but I follow the normally process to create

it with Imgburn.

Thanks for

your answers
