Thanks one and all who offered suggestions on the .PRM file. It is working now. I am now having problems getting connected to an FTP site. I tried ftp.redhat.com and yes I realize this is an exercise in futility. I did attempt this at off hours, very late night, very early morning but no luck. I was able to connect to ftp.redhat.com from my pc at the same time I was trying it on putty. I could consistently get in at those wee hours of the morn with my pc but no luck with putty, Since I also have ftp running on vm, I've gone through the exercise of loading the .IMG files from BASE and tried to ftp to it while using putty. I get different results but am still not able to continue with the install. Below is listing of what my vm linux machine console is displaying
<console>
* doing kickstart... setting it up
* reverse name lookup failed
* starting to STEP_URL
* transferring ftp://vm.llic.com//taroon/RedHat/base/updates.img to a fd
* transferring ftp://vm.llic.com//taroon/disc1/RedHat/base/updates.img to a fd
* transferring ftp://vm.llic.com//taroon/RedHat/base/product.img to a fd
* transferring ftp://vm.llic.com//taroon/disc1/RedHat/base/product.img to a fd
* transferring ftp://vm.llic.com//taroon/RedHat/base/netstg2.img to a fd
* transferring ftp://vm.llic.com//taroon/disc1/RedHat/base/netstg2.img to a fd
</console>
And what is displayed on the putty screen.
What is happening on the console log? Did the install find updates.img and product.img but get stuck on netstg2.img?
Refering to the console log, I have the SFS pool areas defined. I am worried about the case (upper/lower) if that is causing a problem.
TIA
