RHEL 5 Rescue vs RHEL 6 rescue in VMware - Disk Not Found
i have a rhel 5 VM im trying to rescue. After booting the RHEL 5 rescue iso, it fails to find the boot disk. But it works fine when booting the RHEL 6 rescue iso. The underlying boot disk is RHEL 5...
any thoughts? Why be visibile on the RHEL 6 rescue iso but not RHEL 5?
Responses
The reason could be because of disk drivers not available with RHEL5 rescue image. If you wish to get into rescue environment of a RHEL5.x system for repair or for some maintenance activity then booting RHEL6 rescue image should serve the purpose. Practically I've not tested this, but it should work.
Otherwise, as Christian suggested try with latest RHEL5.11 rescue image.
Yeah, that is true. Even I didn't notice the time stamp. How come these old posts getting lined up on new queue requests? Not sure if someone from Red Hat is looking into all these...
I've left a notification about this on another thread a few minutes ago.
