Re: RHEL 7.x installation

I installed rh 6.10 using the latest Hyperion

 It installs fine (used root=/dev/ram0 in generic.prm) but fails the ipl:
 

 07:19:30 HHC01603I ipl 0120

 then

 repeated 6 times.
 

 I had the same result using Hercules v 3.11. It may simply be that we cannot run recent releases of RH on Hercules/Hyperion. I will try rh 6.4 to see if that works.
