Howdy, all,
As we are thinking about running Linux on our 2086, I am trying to install
Linux in an LPAR so we will have a system to play with while our
proof-of-concept project is being planned. I have downloaded SLES 9 and burned
it to CDs on my home Windows XP box, and I am trying to install from these CDs
onto our z box. I have copied the contents of the CDs to my Windows 2000
desktop at my office. (Well, most of the contents, anyway.) I can boot the
initial system from CD 1 and access the contents of the other CDs via FTP, but
the install process ends with an uninformative message. Here is what happens:
Load from CD goes OK.
inst_source begins on the HMC.
After various messages, I get the "Main Menu"
I choose option 4: Start Installation or System
Option 1: Start installation or update
For "Choose Source Medium," I take Option 2: Network
Then, Option 1: FTP
After entering the IP address and signon parms, I get a message that the system
is "Loading data into RAM disk" followed by a bunch of dots showing me that the
install is progressing. Then I get the following message:
*** An error occurred during the installation.
Where can I look to find out what error occurred?
Also, are there searchable archives of this list anywhere besides
www2.marist.edu/htbin? I appreciate Marist hosting the list, but the archives
are essentially unusable.
Thanks,
Jon Brock
