Can't install EVE-ng COMM on bare-metal

Post by rkoloj » Mon May 05, 2025 1:12 pm

Good morning. I am trying to install eve-ng comm edition on bare metal server (Dell r720). I have created an entire Virtual Disc on an HDD for eve-ng use. I am booting the comm edition iso using Rufus with the configuration in the screenshot, is this correct? Should I use Rufus? Should I boot legacy or UEFI? This is about where the installer dies. Is this rufus screen the correct config?

FIXED: Thank you, upon further reading and googling I found the answer. I booted my Rufus boot ISO with legacy BIOS and it installed on my newly created Virtual Disk on my server. I then booted from the created disk and the 2nd and 3rd(?) phase of the install started and completed.

However, after install using recommended settings the IP address I was given to use http://192.168.1.101 is not accessible from browser or pingable from command prompt on my local PC. I have the server iDRAC port and the NIC card connected to my home network. I don't know what I'm missing. Please advise.

Do you have multiple ethernet ports ?
