Nice work Astaro! And to release it for FREE!!!!! GREAT! I am installing it in our VMware ESX server right now.

    Well, that sucks plain and simple. Astaro just eliminated anyone who wants to use ACC in VMware. Tried the install, get a grub error 18. Googled it, it is because of the location of the /boot partition.

    Can't get around it unless you put the /boot as like the first partition, which ACC doesn't do. Or use smaller than an 8GB drive, which can't be done due to system requirements.

    Oh well.. I can't dedicate a system to ACC, but I had lots of room in our ESX farm.

    Astaro, you guys might want to resconsider how you have the partitions laid out in a future release.

    Bummer, it works just fine with Microsoft VirtualPC and presumably also with Microsoft Virtual Server. [:)]

    Hi everyone,

    I had the same problem on an GSX Server. If you change the harddisk to IDE instead of SCSI then it works.

    Hope that helps in some way.

    ESX doesn't support IDE virtual drives, only SCSI.
