Within IBM, we have the luxury of an internal download server. I got SLES10 RC3 (4 CD isos) but have not been able to get it to install. As a head's up, there are new parmfile parameters (see cd1/docu/en/preparation.pdf for details). Here is what I am using: ramdisk_size=65536 root=/dev/ram1 ro init=/linuxrc TERM=dumb Hostname=ny55.pbm.ihost.com HostIP=129.40.49.55 Gateway=129.40.49.254 Nameserver=129.40.106.1 InstNetDev=osa Netmask=255.255.255.0 Layer2=0 Broadcast=129.40.49.255 OsaInterface=eth OsaMedium=qdio ReadChannel=0.0.0600 WriteChannel=0.0.0601 DataChannel=0.0.0602 Portname=dontcare Install=nfs://129.40.45.3/nfs/distros/sles10x/cd1/ UseVNC=1 VNCPassword=123456 I punch to reader, IPL and get out of the gate: Linux version 2.6.16.20-0.12-default ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 4.1.0 (SUSE Linux)) #1 SMP Mon Jun 19 22:25:45 UTC 2006 We are running under VM (64 bit mode) ...

I have tried with 768M of memory so I don't think that is the problem. I know I can mount the NFS share from another Linux. > If Mike MacIsaac comes up with a mksles10root.sh script, > I can do that. :) I just mounted each CD over cd1/, cd2/, etc. I was hoping the script wouldn't be necessary (at least until SP1) It sure would be nice if SuSE included such a script with SP1. > Oh, and when I looked, they were one 5 CDs (iso files), not a single DVD. :(( sigh ...
