I'm having trouble installing Redhat 7.2 into a VM Guest and was wondering
if anyone could shed some light on this problem. I have a 7.1 Rawhide Beta
system running in another guest without any problems but can't seem to get
the 7.2 release going. I am able to boot the kernel and telnet into the
system. I can start the 'loader' installation and select FTP with the
proper settings for my environment. The system connects to my FTP server
(on OS/390) and then after pulling down the first file, I get the following
on the console.
loop: loaded (max 8 devices)
VFS: Can't find ext2 filesystem on dev loop(7,0).

Since this error appears to be storage related, I've tried increasing
memory (192MB), my ramdisk size and also formatting my dasd before running
the install without any impact.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
