Can't install the lower version of AOS?

@Moustafa Hindawi  In Foundation 4.6.3 version, BMC Reset was performed, but if the same phrase appears, it does not proceed, In Foundation version 5.3.4, the image is uploaded and recognized, and installation proceeds. After rebooting, there is no response, so it falls to Fail. Up to version 5.15, the installation works fine. Is there any other method besides the BMC Reset method?

Hello @Moustafa Hindawi 

Do a factory reset, Even the password is initialized, so after resetting, I try to install again with Foundation 4.6.3, but the same log is output.

2023-03-13 08:44:36,453Z INFO Did not receive expected result "Device 2 :VM Plug-In OK!!"; instead received vmwa dev2iso /home/nutanix/foundation/tmp/sessions/20230313-013532-4/phoenix_node_isos/foundation.node_11.11.11.121.iso Mounting ISO file: /home/nutanix/foundation/tmp/sessions/20230313-013532-4/phoenix_node_isos/foundation.node_11.11.11.121.iso

Device 2 :The Length of Name is not correct

Let's try another way.

When installed with Foundation 5.3.4 version, it seems to proceed normally,

but after rebooting, it waits for a very long time and then fails. If you check the log,

it seems that the problem may be that the driver error message related to the Linux 6 version appears.
