Fedora Users — Re: VMware Workstation 7 on F12

So far I have succeeded in getting 2 virtual machines running. One, Windows XP, I copied over from a Fedora 9 system. The other, Fedora 12, I actually installed using Workstation 7. This install, which I did from an iso image, went perfect no issues at all and I allocated 1Gb for memory, and F12 isn't even listed as a supported guest. I tried to install Ubuntu 9.10, which is a supported guest os, it starts fine, asks a few questions, starts the disk partitioning and then suddenly powers off. I'll try lowering the memory allocation and see if that works. It's funny that the only VM I can install on Workstation 7 is Fedora 12 :-)

I use VMware Workstation 7 on Fedora 12 i386 since day when kqemu
support has been dropped,

My system is a laptop w/ Pentium Dual Core and 3 GB RAM.

Try to reduce the memory of guest os allocated by vmware (eg: 256
instead of 512) it's depend on host ram.

If your system support VT-x go with KVM.
