Hi,
I have a problem installing VMware Workstation 6.0. x86-64 on my 10.0 64-bit. Problem is, that VMware still doesn't want to run 64bit guest systems and also in YAST it still reports architecture as i386. Does anybody know how to install it correctly?
What CPU is in your machine? vmware can only run 64 bit guests on recent chips, with the "full virtualization" feature of the CPU enabled. On AMD, I believe it is revision D or later, and on Xeon you need to enable full virtualization in your BIOS. When you try to run a 64 bit guest in vmware, there is a popup which explains this, together with a link to the vmware knowledge base which explains the reasons for it. If it was too quick for you to read, you can click on the button in the lower right corner, and it will come up in a window which doesn't close automatically If the rpm was really called x86_64, and it still said i386 in YaST, then the people who created the spec file for the rpm most likely forgot to change the text in it. The architecture description is just plain text, so it is entirely possible that whoever built it just forgot to change it -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
