[Puppet Users] Learning Puppet Virtual Machine vs. Parallels Desktop = linux kernel panic
I am attempting to use the Learning Puppet VM [1] with Parallels Desktop 7 on a Mac (Snow Leopard). Unfortunately, Parallels does not support OVF images, so I must try the VMX image. Parallels has the ability to convert VMware images, although I don''t know if this works well. If I attempt to import the VMX image using Parallels, I run into two problems. I will include the screenshots on Google+ (See link [2]) 1. Parallels fails to detect the operating system in the VMX image. Please see the screenshot at [2]. Regardless, I went ahead with the import of this image and Parallels says the import was successful. 2. After importing the image, I boot the Virtual Machine. However, the OS is unable to find any of the LVM volume groups, and the the kernel panics. I am unsure if this is a problem with the VMX image, or if Parallels is doing something wrong. The main problem seems to be that LVM cannot create the volume group. I know this is a long shot, but I am hoping there are other Mac or Parallels users out there who have tried the Learning Puppet VM. Thank you for your help, -= Stefan [1] http://info.puppetlabs.com/download-learning-puppet-VM.html [2] https://plus.google.com/photos/103621378732713508804/albums/5746257600756103185 Hopefully link [2] works. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Re: [Puppet Users] Learning Puppet Virtual Machine vs. Parallels Desktop = linux kernel panic
I fought with this about three months ago and got the answer out of Parallels Tech Support: 1. Convert your VmWare virtual Machine but do not run it. 2. Go to Virtual Machine drop-down menu -> Configure -> Hardware -> Hard Disk 1 and change its location from SATA to IDE (e.g. IDE 0:1). 3. Run your Virtual Machine. It works for me. Please let me know if it works for you.

Shameless plug here - In the current beta version Veewee is now able to build Parallels systems. https://github.com/jedi4ever/veewee That might be useful to create your environment, as there is no real need to import it? And it will install ruby and puppet On 25/05/12 15:52, Dan White wrote:> I fought with this about three months ago and got the answer out of > Parallels Tech Support: > > 1.

Re: [Puppet Users] Learning Puppet Virtual Machine vs. Parallels Desktop = linux kernel panic
Thank you Ygor, this works! Now that you mention it, I remember that the Parallels virtual SCSI and SATA devices do not always play well with RedHat or FreeBSD. -= Stefan On Friday, May 25, 2012 6:52:11 AM UTC-7, Ygor wrote:> > I fought with this about three months ago and got the answer out of > Parallels Tech Support: > > 1.

Ygor, Stefan, thanks so much for tracking this down. I will add these instructions to the Learning Puppet front page.
