error at installation from pxe

Hello guys,

I'm newbie here. I'm  trying to test the vmware esxi 5.0. I've set it up to install it from pxe, it's loading all necesarry files, i follow the instructions, start the installation, but it hangs at 26%.

The error is: no such file or directory 'tardisks/ata-pata.v00'

Any hint, please? The ATA-PATA.V00 file is on the pxe server , of course

hi,

did you ever get this figured out? I get a similiar error using gpxe boot to boot the installer. no such file or directory: '/tardisks/cisco-ve.v00'. cisco-ve.v00 is at the root of my directory. I'm using http to transfer the files. the image was built using image builder from the standard profile in the 5.0U1 bundle and adding the cisco vem and fnic drivers then exporting to iso. I copied the contents of the iso to my web server.
