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.
