Installing RedHat 4 Upgrade 5

compman9 · 05-02-2008, 03:07 PM

I am installing RedHat 4 Upgrade 5 on a virtual machine on my VMware Infrastructure Client 3.5. When it prompts me to switch to disk 2, I do so and it gives me this message:

An error occurred trying to initialize swap on device VolGroup00/LogVol01. This problem is serious, and the install cannot continue.

Press<Enter> to reboot your system.

Can anyone please help me!?!?

Have you tried doing a network install? You only need one CD to boot from and then tell it were to download from. You can download directly from the internet, or copy the CD's to an NFS or FTP share on a local computer. This would prevent you from having to swap CD's during the install.

Another option might be to do a very minimal install, then add packages either from CD or network after it is installed.
