Vmware Workstation on 9.3 (Opteron)
Hello all, I am running Vmware Workstation on SUSE 9.3 on an Opteron machine. I am experiencing severe stability problems and have no clue to what is going on. I do not see any useful messages in the system log. Did any of you have better luck with Vmware on a configuration like mine? -m

I'm using vmware 5.0 on a 64-bit dual opteron with suse 9.3 and it works flawlessly. I typically run a single VM but I have run 4 separate VMs at the same time without a problem. In vmware 5 there are a couple of log/debug options you can turn on in the settings menu that might be helpful. Mark

Which version of VMware Workstation and precisely what kind of instability are you experiencing? Is it a UP, SMP, multiple core? Motherboard? What kind of memory? (It's easy to have memory problems that only show up in particularly senarios). Have you reported the problems to VMware, Inc? There used to be (long time ago) minor issues with SUSE and VMware (such as hgfs not working), but AFAIK all that ended with WS 4.5.2. Tommy

I am running vmware 5.0 on a dual Opteron (MSI master2-far), with win98, win2000, suse 9.3 and solaris10 as guest OS. Disk files both locally and on NFS. I haven't seen any instability related to vmware, except that if you run out of disk space you get some really weird errors in the guest OS. I suggest that you try asking in the vmware newsgroups or message boards - they are quite helpful.
