[Xen-users] Can't boot Xen 3.0 under VMWare GSX 3.2

[Sean McCombe <sean.j.mccombe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

 

I'm attempting to boot Xen 3.0/Fedora Core 4 on GSX 3.2. After a time, the boot simply hangs, and I receive the same error message as was encountered by Michael Lang back in May of this year:

 

--------------------------------------------

 

Hi to all,

upgraded to Xen 2.0.6 on VMWare 5.0 Workstation, worked fine by using
the *old* 2.0.5 Configs, i encounterd the following Error Messages on boot for 2
times, cause VMWareMachine is configured without a Floppy Drive.

With 2.0.5 same VMWareMachine the Error doesnt show up, any suggestions ?
(the Machine is working even with this error)

Kind Regards
Michael Lang

I've added a floppy drive to the virtual hardware, but this did not help. Does anybody have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

 

Cheers,
