I'm not sure there's any sort of log available at that point, since it's still copying the installation code into the ramdisk. How much storage did you give the LPAR?

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.
