Hello,

we have a VMware ESX 3.5

I tried installing Ubuntu Server 8.04 64Bit (I choose in VMware 65Bit Ubuntu) and it did not work , Ubuntu instillation program gave me a massage telling me that the hardware is not 64Bit !!!


now the other main thing is:

I used the 32Bit CD , change the settings of the guest to use 32bit CPU and everything went OK till I get the step where I can chose the services that I can install so I choose LAMP and SSH Server then when when I go to the next step I get an error message with Red background


[!!] Select and install software

Installation step failed

I ran into this too. I found that if you burn the cd at too high of a rate, it will fail. For my own curiosity, I burned the image at 16x. I would try burning the image using a low speed around 16x and if that fails, one more step below. If that doesn't solve it, it may be the burning utilitiy.

Hello

I was able to install the 64Bit :guitar:

I had to go in the servers bios and make enable the Intel Virtualization function in the CPU, so now VMware ESX is able to run 64Bit Guests.

Cheers, Data-Base - solved this problem for me, too.

Blooming Intel and not enabling this automagically :)
