Hi list, I encounter some issues for installing Fedora 7 under VMware
Server (1.0.1.29996) Host OS = Windows 2003 STD edition 64bits SP1 Installation setup as follows: new VM - custom config - Other Linux 2.6.x Kernel VM name = F7-WAC-SRV-PENT-01, Location = H:\WAC-SRV-PENT-01
(note: drive H - NTFS - 50Gb total, 25Gb available) VM access : no private access VM account = local system account On host startup : do not power on VM On host shutdown : shut down guest OS 1 processor, RAM = 1024Mb, bridgegd networking I/O adapter type : IDE = ATAPI SCSI = LSI Logic (default value) Disk : Create new, Disk type = SCSI (recommended), disk size
= 8GB, allocate all space now Disk file name = Other Linux 2.6.x kernel.vmdk Click "finish" --> creating the disk It ends up on the following error message: Unable to add virtual machine "H:\WAC-SRV_PENT-01\Other
Linux 2.6.x kernel.vmx" to the inventory Invalid virtual machine 3 files have been created under H:\WAC-SRV_PENT-01: Other Linux 2.6.x kernel.vmdk (1k) Other Linux 2.6.x kernel.vmx (1K) Other Linux 2.6.x kernel-flat.vmdk (8Gb) If I then "file-open" the vmx file, the VM seems
ok. I can point the VM CD to the Fedora7 ISO file and boot the
VM, the installation process seems ok until the installed tries to partition
the VM disk : there is NO disk available for partitioning... I have reproduced this process a number of times; this is
definitely a "recurring" behaviour of VM. Any clue would of course be *very* appreciated!!! PS: this is cross-posted on both VMware forum and Fedora
mailing list. Patrick Derwael |
