Hello Community, |

|
3 |
i have some serious problems getting VMware-Server running on my new |
4 |
Gentoo installation. I run gentoo 2006.1 with "~amd64" use-flag and all |
5 |
packages are up to date. Everything runs fine except VMware-Server. i |
6 |
set the virtual machine up using vmware server under windows xp and |
7 |
installed the virtual disk on a fat32 filesystem. I planned to use the |
8 |
same virtual machine with both os, windows and gentoo, but it doesn't |
9 |
work as i expected. |
10 |
The installation went through without a flaw and i can even start the |
11 |
vmware console and log on to the local machine. i see my virtual machine |
12 |
but when i try to start it my whole system freezes. I thought it might |
13 |
be a graphics problem (I'm running beryl desktop) but the freeze also |
14 |
happens when i start the machine via commandline (vmware-cmd). It would |
15 |
be much easier if there was at least one entry in any log but actually |
16 |
there's nothing! Neither in the syslog nor in the vmware log. I did an |
17 |
strace starting the machine which i can post if there's interest in it. |
18 |
Anyway the same error occurs also when i start a "fresh" machine without |
19 |
relation to another install (i.e. no shared disk or that stuff). |
20 |
Any help highly appreciated! |
