Re: [Xen-devel] Xen on VMware - how to install ? - SOLVED
Hi Jan, I tried to reproduce this under VMware Workstation 4.0.1, but I have no trouble booting XenoLinux using the exact configuration you give below. I am guessing that a complete boot failure would most likely be caused by Grub loading the kernel incorrectly? I attached a screenshot in case you see anything extremely different. Thanks, Zachary Amsden zach@vmware.com JHJE (Jan Holst Jensen) wrote:>Hi Keir and Ian. > >Up and running now.
