Known Issues

Forcing the Installer to Read the Second Installation CD

VMware Workstation or VMware GSX Server: The Red Hat installer may fail to read

the second installation CD correctly if the CD drive in your virtual machine is set up

using the VMware Workstation defaults.

The specific failure message depends on the set of packages you choose to install. In

many cases, the first package the installer tries to read from the second CD is the XPDF

package, so the error message reports a problem with xpdf-<version

number>.

You can force the installer to read the second CD correctly by taking the following

steps:

1. When the installer asks for the second CD, remove the first CD from the drive and

leave the drive empty.

2. Tell the installer to continue. It closes the CD drive tray, then gives an error

message when it finds no CD.

3. Insert the second CD and tell the installer to continue. It should read the second

CD correctly and installation should continue with no problems.

Guest Screen Saver

VMware Workstation or VMware GSX Server: On a Linux host with an XFree86 3.x X

server, it is best not to run a screen saver in the guest operating system. Guest screen

savers that demand a lot of processing power can cause the X server on the host to

freeze.

INIT Errors, Slow or Poor Performance

VMware GSX Server: While installing the Red Hat Linux 9.0 guest operating system,

you may notice that the guest performs poorly or slowly, or you may see INIT errors

when you first boot the guest. To work around this issue and install the guest more

easily, pass the nosysinfo option when you boot the Linux kernel at the beginning

of the installation. At the boot: prompt in the guest, type text nosysinfo.

After you install the guest operating system, if you notice that the virtual machine

runs slowly or if you still see INIT errors, you can modify your boot loader to always

use the option when the guest operating system boots. Choose the steps for your

boot loader — choose GRUB or LILO.
