That “]” is what the system translated when I transferred de .RPM file from the ISO. Changed to “!” and the VM didn’t IPLed the installer (from the reader with the rescue.exec). >As Steffen suggested, you might need to change your syntax to match the >version you're running.

As I told Steffen the ssh root@linux8 (the one with the problem) didn’t have any commands: [anaconda root@linux8 root]# fdsik -l -bash: fdsik: command not found [anaconda root@linux8 root]# pvdisplay -bash: pvdisplay: command not found [anaconda root@linux8 root]# vgchange -bash: vgchange: command not found [anaconda root@linux8 root]# parted -bash: parted: command not found [anaconda root@linux8 root]# lvm -bash: lvm: command not found >Again, I would recommend getting rid of ANY cio_ignore parameters you find. Did it: root=/dev/ram0 ro ip=off ramdisk_size=40000 rescue Same result. What am I missing? Thanks for your help. Regards Roberto.
