RdV3-R1 FVP - OS Installation issue

Hi, the RD-V3 models are large, I recommend at least 64GB RAM while trying to run it. Based on where the debian installer stopped, it looks like it might be reaching out to network for updated packages? Not sure.

You should definitely prefer to use the pinned manifests though: https://git.gitlab.arm.com/infra-solutions/reference-design/infra-refdesign-manifests/-/blob/RD-INFRA-2024.09.30/rdv3r1.xml?ref_type=tags

Also make sure to pair the FVP version against the tag for the pinned manifest.

You already found the documentation at: https://neoverse-reference-design.docs.arm.com/en/latest/platforms/rdv3r1.html
It's pretty good, so I recommend reading the environment setup steps in detail.

Hi Tom Pilar 

Thank you for your suggestions. 

On 32GB RAM, we tried with updated Debian ISO debian-12.8.0(Previously debian-12.7.0), the installation and boot process for RdV3R1 was successful. However, our attempt to install the latest version of Ubuntu 24.10(Previously Ubuntu-24.04.1) is also failing even after increasing the RAM to 64GB.

I have also verified the FVP version.

Could you please provide any suggestions on how to successfully install Ubuntu 24?

Thanks,

Mehala P
