Mark:
That was the only way I tried to install...burned the ISO to a DVD and
installed from it.
None of the other methods worked for me; didn't have an FTP server I could
access with the ISO, and the HMC DVD drive was the most straightforward, anyway.
The "integrated ASCII console" was ok, but...slow; I used a laptop with VNC to
drive it once I got to that point in the installer.
When the first DVD I tried had errors (Phillips DVD-R+, IIRC) I tried a
Verbatim DVD-RAM the way the HMC doc suggested, and still had issues.
Got this one:
Internal error. Please report a bug report with logs.
Details: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
Caller:
/mounts/mp_0002/usr/share/YaST2/modules/NetworkInterfaces.rp:879:in 'block in
Write'
When I was more careful with the network setup, I was able to get past that
one. I have more....I'll resurrect my notes and pass them along if you want.
