hi ,


I want to install RHEL6 32 bit on my laptop. Then it'll prompt the following error. (attached) .

I installed the RHEL6 in one of the Blade Server using the same iso image.

what 's the reason for this ?

your responses are highly.

tnx

seeing as a blade would NOT normally have a gui installed
you could just install it on the laptop ( never intended for / nor designed for ) in text only - run level 1 or 3

do you have a red hat license to ALSO install it on the laptop or JUST for the server

hi John VV ,

No I dont have a license. I downloaded this image from the internet. Im having GUI installed in Blade Server. I encounterd this problem while Im trying to start installing from booting the ISO image.

Hello,

You say you used the same ISO image. Did you use the same CD/DVD or burn it again? I believe this error is typical when Syslinux cannot find menu.c32, vesamenu.c32 file or any other menu file that might be configured.

Kind regards,

Eric

hi Eric ,

I used the same ISO image mount it to my virtual box and then I tried it with burning in to a DVD.But the same issue occured.
I tried this with two laptops.

Is there any special feature to enable for RHEL6 installation

Hi,

Don't know about any special features for RHEL6 installation, never needed to look into it. Maybe the image is corrupt, try downloading it again, check the md5sum, and try again. I've installed RHEL6 on VirtualBox and physical servers too but never encountered this error you got.

Kind regards,

Eric

Hi,

I do remember seeing this before and EricTRA is probably correct, have a look here: RHEL 6 -installation

Hope this helps.

hi ,

But the thing is that I already installed RHEL6 in Blade Server using the same iso image. I mounted the same image on my laptop. So there cannot be a problem with the iso image since I already installed it to a one pc.

Hi,

Never say never, stranger things have happened. Did you run a checksum on the ISO image? Might be that your harddisk had a hick-up and that it affected the blocks the ISO was on. Just try it, if it helps then great, if it doesn't then we'll look into other things.

Kind regards,

Eric

not so . different make/model dvd drives and dvd/cd combo drives WILL read disks differently

one computer will have NO problem and 3 others will toss an error


also RHEL/CentOS/SL were never intended for laptops .
they will install on most BUT NOT ALL .
also MOST laptops WILL have some kind of problems with rhel and the rebuilds
mouse pad and sound are the main issues
BUT the 3d chip can be a VERY big problem


most installs on laptops WILL need some hacking to work mostly correct

the specs on this laptop would be very helpful - seeing as not EVERYTHING in all laptops is supported by RHEL
