Hi,
I am trying to install VI 3.5 single server edition on 40GB IDE disk. Everything is fine but after the partitioning of the disk, Virtual Iron says
Unexpected Error : Unable to map /dev/hda.

I was suspecting my disk to be corrupted so i tried on 70GB IDE disk but the same error popped up. Is there some Issue with VI installation on IDE disks?

Please help.

Thanks.

I installed it successfully on 5000p chipset - sata drives.
Go in xen forums also - if your chipset is supported in xen, vi does that too.

Virtual Iron supports local SATA and SCSI drives. We do not support IDE in version 3.5.
