VMware installaton on BL460 G1 causing CRC error

scooteroc — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 22:17:51 GMT

I am trying to install VMware 3.5 update 4 but i keep getting the error:
Uncompressing Linux...

crc error

--System Halted

This error occurs after initrc.img starts to load during setup. I verified the ISO is good and the CentOS setup goes beyond the initrc.img load so what is the problem?

Hi there,

how exactly you are trying to install ESX 3.5 on blade server ?

Are you using ILO virtual media ?
Are you using blade internal drives or external storage?
Did you try different version of ESX just to isolate?

thanks
Aftab

I am using the iLO virtual media connecting to an ISO image. I have the same result with another ESX ISO image. Setup runs beyond this point when mounted to a vm workstation session using the same image.
