Title: EFW 3.2.0alpha1 Installation
Post by: mirceamic on Friday 26 February 2016, 10:45:06 am
I want to test the new alpha of EFW, but can't seem to install it.
I'm trying to install on an ESXi 5.5 server.
I already have EFW 3.0.0 on a 6Gb HDD, for this one I've made an 8Gb HDD, then increased it to 20Gb because of some older posts where they had problems with the size of the HDD.
I'm not sure if it makes any importance, but the VM has 1 CPU and 1 Gb RAM.

After the language selection and the Welcome screen, I see for a second the "Detecting disks ..." message then I get some error messages:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/installer/tools/recovery", line 103, in <module>
recovery_loader.install(flash_boot=flash_boot)
File "/plugins/x86/tui.py", line 41, in install
File "/loaders/installer/__init__.py", line 491, in choose_disks
ValueError: min() arg is an empty sequence
INIT: Switching tu runlevel: 6

then it restarts.

I can't find anything on-line about this issue, so I'm asking about it here.
Can anyone help me or should I wait for it to go to beta?

Hi,
I have similar problem and what bothers me a lot that Alt+F3 on endian blue screen doesnīt let me to the shell. This error look to me like a known hdd problem and some mknod could repair it like in the previous versions.
Iīm looking for some advice, I didnīt find anything yet.
