Hi
I stuck in a problem that I could not solve it by myslef, so I try here to see if some one can help with this problem.
We got a tyan server with areca 1212 raid controller, 4 hards attached to it and configured as raid 5.
I installed ESX 4.1 on it and All was going ok.
Some days a go ESX crashed and we reset the server. The problem seems to be solved but it crashed after one day.
We reset it but it does not boot.
When the system was going to boot It just write this on screen and do nothing more:
****
Booting 'VMWare ESX Server'
root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partion type 0x83
uppermem ...
kernel - no-mem-option / vmlinuz - 2.4.21-57 -ELvmnix ro root=UUID=....... mem=.....
****
I tried to boot the system but nothing happned, So I used a live cd and mount the vm machines partiotin.
I tried to copy one of th virtual machines but it just gave me a 4.1 MB of 8 gig file.
I tried to re install the esx4.1 by CD. When it asks What to do with existing virtual machines I select to keep the VMs, after ok ing the dialogue, the screen freez and nothing happend.Waiting ro 24 hours, nothing happned.
I don't know what to do and I completley mixes up.
Thanks
