Hi list,
I have a strange problem. I have an IBM e325 server with two opteron chips on it. We installed SUSE 9.1 on this machine with out any problems and it works great. We just purchased SLES 9 and now we are trying to install SLES 9 on the machine but the install fails.
AFAIK SLES9 comes with a support package where you can ask for installation help - so if nobody here can help, look at the support information for SLES.
The machine boots and starts the install and gets to the point where it start to load the RAM disk with this message on the screen.
"Loading data into Ram disk 57950 KB"
Then on the console I see this message
Loading image "/var/adm/mount/boot/root" /dev/ram2: unknown fs type mount: /dev/ram2: no such device
and right after this I get put on the "Main Menu" of the install program and can not continue from here.
Any ideas why Suse 9.1 installs with no problems but SLES 9 does not? We are really happy with SuSe 9.1 but we have to switch to SLES 9 in order to get support from IBM.
The e325 should work without problems with SLES9. What exactly are you doing? Booting from CD1 and install from CD?
