Running EXOS on VMware

I went here https://github.com/extremenetworks/Virtual_EXOS and downloaded the ISO

I booted from the ISO and it tells me it can't find install.xos

The doc referenced on Github (https://github.com/extremenetworks/Virtual_EXOS/blob/master/Install_Guide_EXOS-VM-ESXi-5.docx?raw=tr...) says nothing about that.

In fact it fails at "Starting External Memory Card device" with "mounting /dev/hdc on /mnt/a failed: No such device or address"

I had this issue. When you switch the hard disk to be IDE rather than SCSI, it places it as IDE0:0 ( Master on IDE Controller 0 ) and then places the CD Drive as IDE0:1 ( Slave on IDE 0 ). You have to move the CD Drive to be master on IDE1 ( IDE1:1 ).

Ha! The problem is similar: the ISO needs to be shown as IDE 1:0 whereas the default would be 0:1. Tricky stuff. The Word document actually shows it in the screenshot but there is no warning in its text 😉

Hi jeronimo,

Check to make sure your Hard disk is set for IDE 0:0. I think that caused me an issue in the past.


Thanks,
