Mouse and Keyboard freezes during ISO install on VMware

by ,


GetPageSpeed keeps NGINX and Varnish servers fast and secure: performance modules and builds, plus security fixes within days, all through routine dnf, yum or apt upgrades. It maintains the largest RPM repository of NGINX module packages and Varnish VMODs, with APT packages for Debian and Ubuntu.
Free to install; commercial production use requires a subscription. Without one, a small license notice appears on HTML pages after 30 days.

Operating System and Software

  • Rocky Linux 8
  • VMware vSphere

Problem

  • During ISO install of Rocky Linux 8, the Anaconda screen freezes during the install of Rocky Linux 8 on VMware vSphere.

How to Fix

  • Ensure the ISO image you use for the Rocky Linux 8 install is not uploaded from your local machine, but available directly on the VM datastore.

Origin of the Problem

  • Performance issues for a direct-attach ISO are unpredictable and can cause hang-ups during the Rocky Linux 8 install when using an ISO, causing the keyboard and mouse to not respond at the console.
