manual installation of ESX with NFS as an installation source.

Hello

For educational purposes, I used to install ESX 3 using an NFS share as a source.

To boot PXE and the GUI configuration ESX servers is automatically loaded.

I used on my server to PXE boot have a .cfg with a label like this file:

Manual of ETIQUETTE

kernel ./vmware/vmlinuz

Add ip = dhcp initrd=./vmware/initrd.img method=nfs:192.168.1.12:/PXEInstallESX ksdevice = eth0 lang = fr_FR keymap = be-latin1

If I have this convert for vSphere4, I tried something like this:

LABEL vSphere4

kernel ./vSphere4/vmlinuz

Add initrd=./vSphere4/initrd.img mem = 512 ip = dhcp method=nfs:192.168.1.12/PXEInstallVI4 ksdevice = vmnic0 quiet

But it does not work...

Starting the server in vSphere GUI installation but after a few screens that he asks the CD-rom.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

Koen

you have the beta version of the installation guide? Beta doc PXE boot section was:

PXE boot

You can use the isolinux / on the image of the DVD ESX for PXE DΘmarrer Installer ESX. An example of following to tftp/pxelinux configuration file:

VMware-Classic label

the VMware-Classic menu label

VMware-Classic/vmlinuz kernel

Append initrd = VMware-Classic/initrd.img mem = 512M quiet

KS =http://

The ks = option is required if you make a script with a PXE boot installation.

Not sure if this can help. Do not have a Setup for PXE environment at the moment to test.

Best regards

Lee

  • KB955759 does not appear when I check the updates manually, but it appears with the yellow shield after you have enabled the automatic updates.

    original title: Windows Update acts confused - kb955759 does not appear when I check the updates manually, but it appears with the yellow shield after you have enabled the automatic updates.

    I just reset my CMOS settings, writing zeros for my hard drive, repartitioned, reformatted and used the recovery cd Gateway system to get my computer to Windows 98se - factory settings, except at the beginning of the recovery of the system, when it says "press any key for advanced options," I pressed a key and then I unchecked all the default (3rd party) applications including Norton and left only 2 checked: "Updated USB Hub" and "Windows Shutdown Supplement," while nothing has been installed, leaving only win98.
     
    Then I used my disc XP Home (SP2) update.  I, immediately after the upgrade to Windows XP, installed "Office XP with Frontpage, Developer Edition", then Norton 2012 before never connect to the internet.
    Then, I connected to the internet and continuously update of Norton, before ever hitting the Windows Update page. The first thing I did then was to activate Windows, and then activate the office.
    Then I hit the update of Windows "button" that says "get all your updates in one place... upgraded"Microsoft Update".  I, then, just kept hitting the page update and restart, until I find the SP3.  Then, I took a break, until the next day.
     
    I have an ADSL broadband, with a Linksys EtherFast PCI card.
     
    Then I got SP3, which installed without any problems.
    So I just kept "microsoft continuous update" manually (and reboot), until there is no more updates - EXCEPT, I always uncheck Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - which was the only screening at the final stop for the night.  I think that I ticked the box "don't ask me about this update".
     
    Then, in the morning, after you have enabled automatic updates, I noticed the yellow shield - Windows security icon (or whatever it's called), so I clicked on it and checked it was tellimg me was available [when I checked "Custom Install (advanced users)"].  What showed was 1 update - 955759 KB.
     
    After the problem, already at the reformat (months and months), see the yellow shield telling me there are updates available, which were already installed (before rebooting), I checked manually on the internet with IE 8, pressing alt, "T", "U".  There is no updated list.  Then I checked through my history of update (twice), and KB955759 had not been installed.
     
    My update setting is to let windows download ('important') updates, but let me choose when to install them.
     
     
     
    What is the right - Windows Update (NO update important reporting) Site, or the yellow shield (reports [a] kb955759 [update])?
     
    I can not yet confirm he is supposed to be an update for XP home kb955759, because I was unable to locate any detailed documentation on this 'thing' that protect the yellow safety seems to think is a significant update.

    Comment 1: To my rquest, a moderator merged your thread in the Sub-forum Win7 updates with your wire in the Sub-forum of updates of Windows XP 20 Feb-12, c. 07:50 UTC.

    Comment 2: If you will not contact the MS Support on this issue?

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Just for the heck of it, I have disabled the automatic updates, cleared my browser cache, checked manually, updates from microsoft (windows) and found none (with the exception of software malware removal tool windows [which I have not installed]).  Then, I turned the automatic updates on, and without even being connected to the internet, the yellow shield popped up with the kb955759 "update"...

    Repost...

    1. If you open Internet Explore (only!) to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and run a CUSTOM scan, KB955759 appears in results?... If so, you manage to install it and/or security updates available?

    2 after no. 1 above [<>], is the 'yellow shield' icon appears in the Notification area (on the left of your clock)?  .. and if yes, by clicking on the 'yellow shield' icon tells you that KB955759 or any other updates is ready-to-be-installed?  .. .and if so, you manage to install it?

    3 after doing 1 # & #2 above [<>], is KB955759 or any other updates offered as a ready-to-install update when you go off your computer?  .. .and if so, you manage to install it?

    ... I guess that clearing the browser cache does not erase 'downloaded' updates.

    Nope. If you want to clear the queue of the update...

    OPTION A:

    1. stop the automatic updates service:

    Start > run > (type or copy/paste) services.msc > click OK
    Double-click automatic updates > click stop
    (Stopping the service will take a moment)

    2 remove the contents of the download folder:

    Start > run > (type or copy/paste) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > click OK

    Open the download folder and delete its content
    Close the window.

    3. start the automatic updates service:

    Start > run > (type or copy/paste) services.msc > click OK
    Double-click automatic updates > click Start
    (Starting the service will take a moment)

    OPTION B:

    1. open Internet Explorer (only!) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910336 [don't know the titles, etc..]

    2. make disappear/close the Troubleshooter automatically pop up.

    3 repaired 50202 in DEFAULT modes and AGGRESSIVE. [1]

    Install the beta version of 5.6 yesterday and ran into a number of questions.  Tried to revert to a previous version (ACR 5.5) via a manual install and it seems to work correctly.  I would now try to reinstall 5.6, however, the Setup program will not let me do--, he thinks I still have installed 5.6.  Is it possible to go beyond this, or at least to do a manual install of 5.6?  Can someone provide a link to the 8bi files?  I own a 7 d and REALLY need that support.

    I have a mac, but in another post, these instructions have been posted

    Re: ACR 5.6 can be installed for LR or items in OS X

    To do a manual installation under Windows, you can copy and rename the file:

    Which seems to be about the right size (11MB) for Camera RAW.8bi (32 bit).
