Because I could not get past the "initrd" hanging indefinitely problem, I went back and pulled down new set of ISO files and tried again. Now I get past the initrd (at least it doesn't hang) and I continue to the second phase (running YaST2.sshinstall) -- that all seems to run well but when I try to restart Linux, the system hangs trying to start slpd. Currently, I am installing the default rpms but I have pulled the slp - server package.
My vote is "SLES9 for MVS" needs to try again. To me the install is trying to do to much "for me." Is there a way to say thanks, but let me have complete control over the installation. I will update the list if the bypass of slpd allows me to bring up the system. -----Original Message----- From: Michael MacIsaac [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2004 5:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Installation of SLES9 hangs on 'creating initrd' Doug, > After using these scripts my installation continues to hang on > 'creating initrd' at 62%. Did I do something wrong? Hmm, if you got past the copying of the RPMs from the install tree to your new system, then I would guess the problem with creating the RAMdisk is not related to the install tree. How large of a virtual machine do you have? 256M or better for install - smaller than that may be an issue. Another thought is what type of network connection are you using? Most people are not running into this problem, so somehow your install might be adding different modules to the RAMdisk, which might be causing the problem. Also, what hardware are you using?
