syslinux limitations prevent installation of ESXi from RHEL5 PXE server
Issue
ESXi 5 installation gets stuck while loading files from a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 PXE server.
I have tried the same on RHEL6 and it works fine.
VMware claims to test ESXi PXE installation on syslinux 3.86 and above.
Environment
- VMware ESXi 5
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL5) as a PXE server for ESXi installation
