I was booting from the CD to perform an install on an HP ProLiant DL 360 G3. I have tried the install several times and it is only successful when the install is supplemented using drvblock.img. The stock CDs boot, but after you select "CDROM" as the install method, the install program says "No media found" even though it may have booted off the CD it now claims it can't find.

I'm curious why this would be necessary - the initrd used by isolinux is the same as the pxeboot version: $ md5sum isolinux/initrd.img images/pxeboot/initrd.img cbbfcb2913f101f7f5d32d1b6c0410ab isolinux/initrd.img cbbfcb2913f101f7f5d32d1b6c0410ab images/pxeboot/initrd.img thus ought to have all the hardware drivers available without special measures. Are you booting from the CD or just using it for the RedHat/{base,RPMS} resources? Cheers, Phil
