Red Hat Linux 2.1 Workstation Guest Operating System on ESX Server Virtual Machine Fails to Install with BusLogic Virtual Adapter

Details

Why did my Red Hat Linux 2.1 workstation fail to install as a Guest Operating System?

Solution

Installations of Red Hat Linux 2.1 workstation guest operating system fail to complete. For virtual machines using BusLogic virtual SCSI adapters with a vlance network adapter, the installation application never prompts for a second installation disc.

To fix the problem, use a BusLogic virtual SCSI adapter with a vmxnet network adapter, or use an LSI Logic adapter with either a vmxnet or vlance network adapter.
