Fwd: 9.1 LiveCD hangs in VMWare
Resending since this doesn't seem to have shown up in 10 hours... ----- Forwarded message from mailinglists+ianschorr.com@ianschorr.com ----- Date: Sat, 8 May 2004 09:27:39 -0700 From: mailinglists+ianschorr.com@ianschorr.com Reply-To: mailinglists+ianschorr.com@ianschorr.com Subject: 9.1 LiveCD hangs in VMWare To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Hi, I'm using VMWare Workstation 4.51 to try to run the new 9.1 LiveCD image. Unfortunately, it's simply hanging at "Starting PCMCIA". The system doesn't freeze - entering characters will display on the console (telling me that VMWare didn't hang, nothing "crashed" per se), but will not continue past that point and displays no errors. I've tried the "safe mode" boot, but it has the same problem. I also haven't been able to find any parameters (in the VMWare virtual BIOS or in the VMWare app itself) that would seem to make any difference. Has anyone else run into this? Obviously there's no PCMCIA in my virtual VMWare PC, is there a boot option to disable starting the pcmcia module? SuSE 9.0 runs just great for me in VMWare. Thanks, Ian ----- End forwarded message -----

Hi,
I'm using VMWare Workstation 4.51 to try to run the new 9.1 LiveCD image.
Unfortunately, it's simply hanging at "Starting PCMCIA". The system doesn't freeze - entering characters will display on the console (telling me that VMWare didn't hang, nothing "crashed" per se), but will not continue past that point and displays no errors.
I've tried the "safe mode" boot, but it has the same problem.
I also haven't been able to find any parameters (in the VMWare virtual BIOS or in the VMWare app itself) that would seem to make any difference.
Has anyone else run into this? Obviously there's no PCMCIA in my virtual VMWare PC, is there a boot option to disable starting the pcmcia module?
SuSE 9.0 runs just great for me in VMWare.
I get the same problem on my ThinkPad.
Has anyone been able to get 9.1 to boot in VMWare at all, or is everyone having
this problem?
