Installation

I'm trying to install m0n0wall 1.32 from CD ROM using the Install to hard drive option; however I always get the following message and am unable to install m0n0wall

SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE  statu =51 <READy,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED>

I'm trying to install to an old Neoware Thin Client on a 32MB Disk on Module IDE Flash Drive.

I tried using the alternate install with DSL. The command cfdisk generated an error code and the utility didn't run. I determined the name of the hard drive but was unable to successfully install using the alternate method either.

The hard drive is set as IDE0 Master. Any ideas on how to resolve the error code and install using the CD ROM?

Guessing could be a UDMA/PIO problem, not sure if this is changeable in the BIOS.  you could try install it using a different PC, putting the Disk into a different PC ?

1) If you have encountered the error shown above, you can press ALT-F1 to access the console of the ESXi install. You'll be prompted for a login and you can use 'root'. The password for root with be blank. As mentioned above, this process assumes you have an IDE drive that ESXi can recognize. You can use the command lspci to show the list of devices that ESXi can recognize and then compare that with this list of devices. Also if you run fdisk -l, you should see your IDE drive listed.
2) After you have console access you will enter the command vi /usr/lib/vmware/installer/Core/TargetFilter.py (note that the path and filename are case-sensitive).
3) Scroll down in the document until you find the section "def IDEFilter(lun)". You will be changing the text:

return interface.GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_IDE
to
return interface.GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_ISCSI

If you have not used vi before, move the cursor to the end of "TYPE_IDE" and the press the Insert key. The press backspace to delete IDE and type in ISCSI. Then press the ESC key, type in the command :wq and press Enter to save the file and exit.

4) You will now be back at the console. If you had stopped the installer at the screen show below, you can press ALT-F2 to return to the screen and press Enter to start the install, but it will still generate the error shown in the image above. You will need to press ALT-F1 and then type in install and press enter.
5) When you run the install command, it is important to note that the installer will switch you back to the ALT-F2 (DCUI) screen. Press ALT-F1 to return to the console again. You will see the below screen again with the prompt to press Enter to install. Do so and the install will proceed.
