OXE Release 8 installation issues

[alaint]

Hi guys, did anyone solved this issue yet?
I'm installing Release 8 ( G13028)
and after a while, my console port is showing me this:

Warning: undi_close() failed 1.
[Linux-bzImage, setup=oxa00, size=0x9f1ec]
[Linux-initrd @ 0x7c07000, 0x3e789a bytes]

During the installation process, I can see the new MAC address and the progress of the linux ram installation on the PCinstaller.
and then , when it get stucked, PC installer pops up an the following error message :" the installation has failed, please do check server log files".
Any hint how to sole this? Of course I have selected blade server and put the VMware Mac Address in the PC installer.
Thank in advance.

Alain

We have loaded Rel 8 and Rel 8.0.1 with no issues at all.

What size partitions are you using on your VM Ware???

Are you installing it as Appliance or Blade server?

[alaint]

I've tried Blade server and appliance server, the partition size is 20 G
I do have 5 gigs free.
any other hints?

Try to configure vm machine with fixed amount of space in virtual HDD a preallocated.
Also disable your firewall.

Where is your PC installer, on the same pc as VMWARE or no ?

Thank you guys, it's working fine,
it was just a FW issue

I don't get it - what does it mean "it was just a FW issue"? Firewall issue? We have same problem. But ICS/firewall service even stopped. Also if start it and disable - we get same error.

If you have Cisco VPN installed, stop the process "Cisco Systems, Inc. VPN Service" Maybe all VPN-programs need to be stopped, i'm sure about the cisco.
