Thanks for getting back with me, I really appreciate it. The VMDK provided is designed to work with VMWare workstation. It has an IDE type backing which is basically unsupported for ESX based VMs. I have gotten around this by going through the initial install routine in VM Workstation and installing to a SCSI disk, then exporting this VM to ESX. This works just fine. The VM boots and lands on the Graphical Login prompt. However, things go pear shaped from here, as the default password fails. A quick cntr + alt + D brings up the desktop and I went into Network Device Control. All networks appear offline, I corrected this and was then able to browse to internet sites so I know networking is functional. I have not changed the password since converting the VM from a Workstation format to an ESX format. The default password continues to work on the Workstation source. I jumped down to a console prompt, changed to the GLUSTER directory and reviewed the files. The password listed in the config and config.xml file is the one I am trying. I am not sure where to go from here. Any assistance, advice, or subtle hints, would be very much appreciated.

I am very eager to try Gluster Storage Platform on some ESX based virtual machines. I have no method of using the bootable USB to accomplish this. Are there any plan on creating a bootable Live CD for installation and or releasing and ESX based VMDK? Again, congratulations, great work!
