I have had problems getting Fedora 12 installed on esxi. I have 20gb of hd space and 2gb of ram. Everytime I try to load Fedora, it freezes during the install. I don't know if maybe I'm downloading bad torrents or what. Has anyone ever ran across this issue? Is there a different source I should be downloading from?

I tried to install Ubuntu Server 10.04 AMD64 onto my Dell blade server running ESXi 4. I get the following error when i try to install:
Code:
My server have 2 Intel Xeon Quad core CPU's installed.
I have allocated 2 virtual CPU's to the VM. My VM is also set to Linux 64bit.
I have a freshly installed, updated Fedora 11 installation for which the VMWare Tools fails. It can't compile what it needs, either. It's running under ESXi 3.x.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe are having some problems in running CentOS 5.3 in our ESXi 3.5 environment. The virtual machine is running perfectly under VMWare Player, but when I converted it to ESXi using VMWare vCenter Converter 4.0.0, the CentOS often goes into a panic right at the start of stops when setting up the hostname.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have this 7.10 Ubuntu server that I'm trying to move inside a VM on my ESXi server. I use the VMware Conversion tool and everythings goes well until I try to boot it from inside the VM, the network isn't detected. Now I understand that the drivers may not be working, I'm not an expert here. Also, since this is a 7.10 install I don't have access to the Gutsy repositories anymore.
View 3 Replies View Relatedrun VMWare ESXi and have installed Ubuntu 10.10 in a virtual machine.People say you press CRTL+ALT+F1 to exit back to command line from the gnome login screen but this never works for me.If I do something like "sudo service gdm stop" it just delivers me to the desktop background almost like the machine has hung, no menus toolbars, mouse or anything.Basically what I want to be able to do is start up the machine with command line, and go into gnome on occasion and exit back out to command line to save resources, this is because the machine will mainly serve as a web server. I followed the guide here [URL] which tells how to make ubuntu always start at CLI, which works nicely, but I need a way to be able to get back to CLI from inside gnome.

Please insert the CentOS CD and press OK to retry."
I have tried it with the image on the datastore, a unc-path and as physical cdrom.I have tested all modes in the vmware cdrom settings (passthrogh IDE or Emulate IDE) - nothing helps.
Console 3 shows me:

So a while back I was able to mount a directory from my OpenSuse server as a NFS on an Esxi server. After restarting the Esxi server, the NFS became inactive and I was unable to remount it. The error given was that the Esxi client was unable to connect to the Suse server. I was looking into the showmount -a command on the Suse server and it showed the mount point on the Esxi server. Could this be causing the Suse server to reject new attempts to mount the directory? What else can I try to fix this problem? Also I should note that both servers can ping each other.

View 7 Replies View RelatedThis is my first post, and i have a question with the fence software for VMWare ESXi. The fence_vmware agent only works with ESX, and redhat (in you GIT repository) has submited a new agent called fence_vmware_ng that claims to work with ESXi. But the problem is that they do not specify the version that works with that. Anybody has test the fence_vmware_ng agent for VMWare ESXi 4.0 ?, i follow the instructions here: [URL]...and i can install the software, the API from VMWARE site, etc, but in the moment when i run the agent nothing happen, The agent connects to server, i see in logs, but the off-reboot-on operations not works. Only works status operations, that return the state of a virtual machine. I have CentOS 5.3 (fully today updated) with RHCS.

He wants me to convert the ubuntu server to a virtual machine and host it on a ESXi server. For the past few week (im working part-time so not everyday), trying different ways to host the webserver.I tried using the VMware Converter 4.0 to the ESXi server (That didn't work)I tried using Acronis Echo workstation to create a image and trying to convert it using the VMware converter (The ESXi console says Error Operating System)

After searching online and in these forums I found two different ways of installing the Nvidia drivers in fedora 12. If you haven't yet installed the the repos then:
Code:
su
rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
First way:
as su
(1)
yum --enablerepo=rp*g install kmod-nvidia.$(uname -m) xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64
[Code]...
I used the first way and everything seems to work fine. Compiz-fusion works good but i did have to add vga=795 to /boot/grub/grub.conf to get the graphical boot loader to work again. Should I have used the second method? What is the difference in these two ways? Most notably the second steps. Is one way better or preferred over the other? From my understanding you must do this because of the nouveau driver.

Well I just freshly installed Fedora 12 from a live CD onto my laptop and I would like to do the same with a new computer I picked up recently. Going anti Windows. Anyways it is a Acer Revo 1600, The computer is running Windows Home Edition with SP3. I do not have a optical drive since the computer is the size of a router, I do however have a USB but I can't not find it to save my life. So how would I go about installing Fedora 12? I have tried the mirror method but couldn't figure out how to do it. Does any just just have a link with a download button and it be simple as that. Also like Wubi I can keep Windows and Linux, Is there something like that but with Fedora 12 and I can still keep XP. how would I also download and try Fedora 13 Alpha?

View 4 Replies View RelatedWe are trying to install Fedora 10 [Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso] on IBM X3400 server and the specs for IBM X3400 server are
Intel Xeon 5405 (Quad Core) / 2.0 Ghz / 12 MB / 1333 Mhz / 4GB Memory / 2* 250 GB
SATA / DVD Writter/ Keyboard, Optical Mouse
The following are the issues we are facing with the install.
1. First time, install hanged with message "booting from anaconda"
2. Second time, tried the boot option "linux vesa". When the system re-booted, the mouse and keyboard were not working.
I've just installed Fedora 10 LIVE CD on USB (1GB) on a MSI WIND Netbook (no optical drive) and realise I don't have the extra packages options available for installation. I do have the DVD ISO and I'm just wondering if there's a way of accessing packages in the DVD without reinstallation, like Open Office, Gimp etc. Is there a way of accessing softwares in the DVD ISO? or Some how install them into my currently running Fedora 10 on my MSI WIND?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm installing Fedora 11 onto 4 500GB HDs....and I want it to be a RD5.
What would be the best way to do this?
1 - software raid each 500GB into a RD5, then create a LVM boot/swap/and / partitions? Is it even possible to do this? And performance wise, is this ok?
2 - the first two 500GBs into a RD0 and load the OS onto this raid, create a RD0 onto the second two 500GB, then just use rsync to mirror the first RD0 onto the second RD0...which I know isn't REALLY a RAID, but will be more of a backup onto the second raid. This probably will show the best performance, but isn't a raid.
Because the /boot has to be on a mirror drive I think my options are pretty limited.
Listed are the steps and the issue:
1. Downloaded the Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso in windows m/c
2. Used the liveusb-creator
3. Plugged the USB drive in the m/c where the Fedora needs to be installed. (This m/c does not have an OS)
4. The BIOS sensed the drive.
5. Selected the installation option from the menu
6. Proceeded with the installation steps and created the partitions
7. Got the error:
"Missing ISO 9660 image The installer has tried to mount image #1, ..."
During my two previous installation, I almost never try to include or exclude package during the process. I want to know if I only want to install XFCE as my only DE, how can i do it during the installation progress (I Know i can install both, or even with KDE, but I also know that i can do it later should I change my mind)?
Second question is, if I install only XFCE, what will I miss ?(no, not the gnome feature, but maybe fedora distro(gnome) specific tool or something). Last word, no I'm not asking what feature of gnome is absent in xfce nor which DE is better, so don't start it.
I really want to try it on my Dell E6400 (it runs Fedora 10 right now).
