Error: "execution of script failed" While Upgrading ESX Server
Details
When I try to upgrade from ESX Server 1.0 to ESX Server 1.1, I
get the error execution of script failed when I run rpm -Uvh
/mnt/cdrom/VMware-esx-*.rpm. What is wrong?
Solution
You may be trying to upgrade while running the console operating
system. In order to do the upgrade, you need to reboot into Linux.
You can do this by typing /sbin/reboot at the super-user prompt, then choosing linux at the LILO boot prompt as the machine comes back
up.
