It works, but... things break. The guest lost network, and rcnetwork fails to get an IP. I have seen an Oops flashing by, which I will not bother to report, as the kernel chaps here do not want to look at anything related to vmware.
Actually - if it is inside the guest, the kernel hackers will look at it... :-)
Ah, thanks for the clarification. Then I'll start again the virtual machine to get the log and report - but it will have to wait for next reboot (the last dbus update recommends a reboot), things are not stable right now.
If I need to hibernate the guest, I'll use vmware suspend instead of guest suspend. It is safer and works. Testing the guest hibernation was just that, a test, to check what things I could test on a virtual environment instead of a real one.
It's actually a valid test and I appreciate the testing and the bugreport!
I'll look into the issue with the serial console. It is possible that it just does not work and is not easy to fix, then I might decide to "wontfix" it. It might also be that it is fixable, I don't know yet. ...at least suddenly the "strange" error message makes much more sense now ;)
Ok, I understand. I appreciate that you appreciate it ;-) Yes, indeed it makes more sense now. It's up to you to decide what to do finally, but I'm curious to know what comes out of it some time. Getting machines with real hardware serial port is more difficult every day, but it is needed for some cases of kernel debugging. -- 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.
