I have access to the console and can also boot the system on a rescue mode (some sort of ubuntu livecd). <br><br>I've read that many distributions (including debian) allow installing the OS without the CD, as long as I mount the ISO image and copy initrd.img + the kernel (linux26 for proxmox) in my boot partition, copy all the install files on a partition outside root and then change grub menu to reflect the new changes and reboot the box. Unfortunately no matter what I do, the system always freeze when initrd and
linux26 are loaded ... Am I missing something somewhere ? Is there any way to install proxmox without the CD ?<br><br>Thanks in advance for your help,<br>SB<br><br>ps: below what I've added in grub's menu.lst:<br>title PROMOX (New installation)<br>root (hd0,0)<br>kernel /boot/linux26 vga=791 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr ramdisk_size=16777216 rw quiet splash=silent root=/dev/sda4<br>initrd /boot/initrd.img<br><br>and /ISO contains all the CD content - mounted under :<br>/dev/sda4 4.1G 683M 3.3G 18% /ISO</span></div><div style="position:fixed"></div></div><br>
