Hi,
I'm following the instructions for PXE installing an esxi server. I've downloaded the iso and checked the checksum matches. I've followed step1:-
+1) Copy the install files to your PXE server from the ESXi install CD.
This will include the files BINMOD.TGZ, CIM.TGZ, IENVIRON.TGZ,
LICENSE.TGZ, MBOOT.C32, MENU.C32, OEM.TGZ and VMKERNEL.GZ+
and also step 2:-
2) Edit the file /var/public/tftproot/pxelinux.cfg/default and add the below text.
label ESX3i
+ kernel mboot.c32+
+ append vmkernel.gz --- binmod.tgz --- ienviron.tgz --- cim.tgz --- oem.tgz --- license.tgz --- install.tgz+
Then booted the client having copied all the files (including install.tgz) to /tftpboot . I'm using an existing PXE setup used for kickstart and sles installs so the UDA has not been used in this case
On booting, the system finds all the files except install.tgz with the panic error given above. I'm not sure it's intentional but it seems install.tgz should not be put in the default tftproot location as the steps do not list that for extraction. If that's the case I'm wondering where it should be located and whether this is the problem
Thanks
Paul
