You might have more luck with running /usr/bin/anaconda -m "cdrom://dev/cd0" (I'm not sure if that's the right URI in quotes above, someone else might be better able to answer that) than trying to run loader. (I should note that you can replace the cdrom URI with a couple of different ones, depending on whether you want to use NFS or ftp access, etc... "ftp://local.ip/"; "nfs://path/to/RedHat") This way, you can use the bootloader, and read from some other install source, if it can't read your cd You should realize that anaconda expects certain things to be the case when it starts. For instance, the target cdrom needs to be mounted as /mnt/source for the cdrom method...

Can anyone give some more details as to the source of the problem: Thanks in Advance, John -------------------------------------------------------------- I think virtual machine is not presenting CD-ROM in proper manner to the OS. Although the initial CD-ROM eltorito image which is sort of a floppy on CD runs. But after that linux kernel is not able detect the CD-ROM.
