Sorry to take so long for a feedback.

So, let's see the results:
- append line options edd=off (didn't helps) or edd=skipmbr

- change your virtual hardware (use a scsi disk instead of ide)

- use a older bootimage
It didn't work...
- use a newer vmware ...

Hello Everybody!

Thanks in advance,
Fernando.

Thanks again!

Hi Bardo!

Thanks for the quick reply!

Actually the VM client is configured for 512MB of RAM, and the file install in "/tftpboot/linux/pxelinux.cfg" has this configuration:

Hello Dears,

I am burning my brain more than 3 weeks running OPSI server VM and making some tests trying to install an OS via network (PXE) in another VM.
The problem is everything looks ok, but when the VM tests start "loading miniroot.bz2...(a lot of dots)...ready." nothing more happens.
