Your install is: Bare metal, ESXi, what CPU model, RAM, HD, what EVE version you have, output of the uname -a and any other info that might help us faster.

Installing CSR1Kv 16.04.01 from ISO - no " CSR 1000V Serial console" menu.

Post by d_b » Tue Aug 29, 2017 9:25 am

Hi!

Attempting to install CSR1000v from csr1000v-universalk9.16.04.01.iso (md5: 790f057956bc02052235fbfb2f274a94 which is correct) by following instructions at http://www.eve-ng.net/index.php/documen ... li-routers
The problem is that I never get a menu prompting for serial console selection, and installation ends up with router's prompt.

Tried both VM's console and ssh.

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

EVE and the system has been updated today to the latest revs.
EVE-NG 2.0.3-77
VMware Fusion Pro 8.5.8 (5824040)

That's a bummer, I don't know what I was thinking while staring at those "press any key" :(
Thanks for your patience!
