[Bug 396116] New: openSuSE 11.0 Beta3 & RC1 can't find the Hard Disk
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=396116 Summary: openSuSE 11.0 Beta3 & RC1 can't find the Hard Disk Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: RC 1 Platform: i386 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: chucktr@trcompu.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Beta-Customer Prior versions of SuSE up to and including openSuSE 11.0 Beta2 had absolutely no trouble finding the Virtual HD of VMware. I am running VMware Workstation 5.5.6 inside openSuSE 10.3. Inside that I am running Win2k and Vista and the latest version of openSuSE, if it will work. I noticed that a lot of code concerning vmware was removed between Beta2 and Beta3. Does that mean VMware is to be no longer supported in SuSE??? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Is there a list of which files had the patches so that I may re-install them?? The VMware Workstation version that I am using is 5.5.6 which I don't believe should be considered that old. Like I said in a previous e-mail, it worked fine in openSuSE 11.0 Beta2. Perhaps the "workarounds" could be made optional to VMware 5 users??? Don't think that it was possibly made clear. The problem is not running VMware inside openSuSE 11.0 Beta 3 and above BUT the problem is running openSuSE 11.0 Beta 3 and above as a Guest inside VMware.

5.x is still a maintained product, and i wondered if it still has the bug - there is just a new release from 5/29/2008: VMware Workstation 5.5.7 for Windows Version: 5.5.7 | 5/29/2008 | Build: 91707 | Release Notes http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/releasenotes_ws55.html#557 http://www.vmware.com/pdf/ws55_manual.pdf ok - besides that, table on page 26 in document http://www.vmware.com/pdf/GuestOS_guide.pdf shows, that suse 10.2 already needs at least workstation 6.x and opensuse 10.3 needs at least 6.0.1. workaround: using virtual ide harddisk or virtual scsi disk , but with virtual buslogic controller instead of lsilogic. if it`s not being fixed in 5.x, i`m not sure if it would be good to step back and re-integrate the patch.

that is because up to 11.0 beta2 suse had a patch which worked around a bug in vmware`s virtual lsilogic scsi controller emulation. that patch was rejected by linux kernel developers - so every linux distro without that additional patch will fail with recent linux kernels on vmware products which haven`t been fixed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

buslogic was a bad idea, as i just see that they have the following lines a hundred times in http://www.vmware.com/pdf/GuestOS_guide.pdf:
so if lsilogic is broken in 5.x, buslogic is also broken, you may only choose ide or other virtualization product, like virtualbox ;) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I noticed that a lot of code concerning vmware was removed between Beta2 and Beta3.
i wouldn`t call that a lot. http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=117432237404247 http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=117469821528952&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=118352701624546&w=2 this issues are known for quite some time now.
Perhaps the "workarounds" could be made optional to VMware 5 users???
just as an idea: as you can add additional drivers from floppy or whatever at setup time - would it be possible to replace an in-kernel driver by some driver from additional setup disk, i.e. could a patched lsilogic driver be supplied separately (either by novell or by 3rd party/volunteer) ? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
