I am trying to install VMWARE ESX version 3.5.
The install appeared to complete ok.
Once the server reboots i get an option to choose option
1 – ESX server
2 – ESX server in Debug mde
3 – ESX Troublshooting mode
If i choose option 1 or 2 i get the following message:
mounting root failed dropping into basic maintenence shell
sh: can’t access tty; job control turned off.
I can type help and access help commands or do an ls or pwd but the system doesn’t boot nto VMware.
However if choose option 3 the system gets to the prompt for username and password.
I am guessing this is some sort of software > hardware configuration i may need to add into a boot file or someting e.g mount the harddisk.
Can anyone instruct me what may be he problem here
