I had previously had an issue with an iLO card on an HP that was also giving me virtual media issues- turns out I just needed to update the iLO firmware. I would say maybe you need to update your DRAC firmware, but you said it works fine with RHEL5.1, just not 5.2? Have you tried using your 5.2 disc on a local machine to confirm it works? I guess that's kind of an obvious suggestion, but you never know :D Chet <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 7, 2008 at 1:05 PM, Dongwu Zeng <<a href="mailto:dongwu@yahoo-inc.com">dongwu@yahoo-inc.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> I guess that the first reading from CD-ROM is done through driver provide by BIOS. When RHEL asks for installation media, it tries to use driver provided by Linux. It seems that Linux or RHEL in this case doesn't have driver for your "virtual Cd-ROM". I had similar problem before when I tried to use USB CD-ROM to install RHEL. You need to somehow specify the correct driver during installation.
