I boot from the CD myself... I have also had ISOs working properly.
They all seem to work for me. On 2/8/07, Caetano, Greg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
In the testing I have done on RHEL5 beta, I have the Microsoft ISOs available on the host system, and I have not had a problem installing 2003ServerR2 or XPsp2 as long as I tell the installation to install the Standard PC HAL by pressing the F5 key as soon as the installation displays press F2 to add drivers. I tried to move a VM from another XEN (non RedHat) environment to RHEL5 and it would hang because the other environment had selected the ACPI Uniprocessor HAL. Once I replaced the ACPI Uniprocessor HAL with the Standard PC HAL the vm started without any issue.

There are means to install W2K, XP and 2003 Server (that I know of) from a network; I would expect those to work. If you can boot a physical CD or an image of one to install Linux, then that should work for Windows too. -- Cheers John -- spambait [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please do not reply off-list _______________________________________________ rhelv5-beta-list mailing list rhelv5-beta-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-beta-list _______________________________________________ rhelv5-beta-list mailing list rhelv5-beta-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-beta-list
