Installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 Update 2 as a Guest Operating System
Details
How do I install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 Update 2 as a
guest operating system?
Solution
In order to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 Update 2 as a
guest operating system with VMware ESX Server 2.5.2, you need two
things:
A BusLogic SCSI driver disk compatible with the kernel
version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 Update 2 that you intend
to use. VMware provides a BusLogic driver disk compatible with
kernel version 2.6.9-22.EL, available for download at www.vmware.com/download/esx/esx2-rhel4-update.html.
Currently, VMware does not provide a driver disk for kernel
version 2.6.9-22.0.2.EL, which is the kernel version for the
kernel security update described in RHSA-2006:0101-9 at rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2006-0101.html.
VMware expects to make a driver disk for this kernel version
available at a future date.
