ESX4i Statefull PXE Installation

Hi all,

 

I am having some challenges doing a PXE installation of esx4i in a statefull manner. The boot process loops with the error "Fatal: Cannot read image.tgz".

 

Below is the except from by pxe boot.conf

 

label ESXi_Installer
kernel mboot.c32
append vmkboot.gz --- vmkernel.gz ---sys.vgz --- cim.vgz --- ienviron.tgz --- install.tgz --- image.tgz

 

I have confirmed that image.tgz exists and tried with the latest pxelinux.0.

 

Any suggestions on how to make a statefull pxe of esxi work? [A stateless install with different append options work just fine]
