Re: [Xen-users] Xen kernel and Vmware Server

["Jay Liu" <jayllo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Strangely I get through the Vmware install process just fine.

 

Their modules compile with no error. Heck even the vmware gui console runs. When I try to start the VMware virtual machine image it doesn't start up.

 

I'm a bit more concerned with getting my xen to work again than vmware... i'll look into turning the vmware modules off as suggested.

I've tried this before and have never had any success getting VMware
Server to run on a Xen kernel.  There are some technical things to
overcome with the Linux kernel's access to the hardware, but it also
could be that VMware doesn't want this to work.  I've never actually
gotten the VMware Server kernel modules to compile on a Xen kernel -
they always seem to fail.
