Hi, I''m new to Xen and I''m trying to install Xen2.0 on VMWare Workstation 4.5. The host OS is Fedora Core 3. I downloaded the Xen source and did a ''make world'' and ''make install'' followed by ''mkinitrd'' for the initial ram disk. I also disabled TLS. I configured the grub.conf file and the rebooted the system. I get a bunch of (XEN) messages at startup, probably meaning Xen is starting, then mounts the filesystem and starts INIT. I get to the ''Welcome to Fedora..'' starting dev... [OK] starting hardware... At this point the screen goes blank and VMWare pops a message: "VMWare Workstation unrecoverable error: (vcpu-0) ASSERT F(554): 1448 bugNr=3743 ..." Any help would be most welcome. Thanks! -Ian _________________________________________________________________ Take charge with a pop-up guard built on patented Microsoft® SmartScreen Technology. http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=http://hotmail.com/enca&HL=Market_MSNIS_Taglines Start enjoying all the benefits of MSN® Premium right now and get the first two months FREE*. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Although Xen should in theory work on VMWare, I would suspect that some of the technology used in VMWare expects the OS to behave in a particular way, and Xen may well do things that are "unexpected" from VMWare''s side of things. For example, Xen will use almost the entire GDT, which may well be a case of VMWare also wanting to use the upper parts of the GDT. That''s just one thing of many that Xen would like to have full control over, and VMWare would conflict with. -- Mats -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of Ian W Sent: 14 November 2005 15:29 To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: [Xen-users] Xen on VMWare Hi, I''m new to Xen and I''m trying to install Xen2.0 on VMWare Workstation 4.5.

Xen works on VMware workstation 5.0, at least it has no problem for booting dom0. I have tested this with Fedora Core 4, and the precompiled Xen and kernel. -qiao -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists. xensource.com] On Behalf Of Petersson, Mats Sent: 2005年11月14日 23:50 To: Ian W; xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: RE: [Xen-users] Xen on VMWare Although Xen should in theory work on VMWare, I would suspect that some of the technology used in VMWare expects the OS to behave in a particular way, and Xen may well do things that are "unexpected" from VMWare''s side of things.

Xen is working propper on VMware Workstation 4, 5, GSX Server 3.1 and VMplayer Beta1. I have got created a virtual Machine with XEN 2.0.7 inside VMware for a Friend. Sorry i have got german DSL onley that will get maybe 50 kb upload on my Apache at home. If you have interesst on it, the Rootpassword is "mockahaeschen". Operating System is a nacked Debian Sarge. http://hojnik.homelinux.org I couldn`t use the precompiled Kernel too because the Hardwaresupport seems to be like a Joke, so i have compiled it self ;) Am Dienstag, den 15.11.2005, 00:33 +0800 schrieb LianQiao:> Xen works on VMware workstation 5.0, at least it has no problem for booting > dom0.

If I had more base memory, I could undoubtedly get all four DomU booting with an X Window System.
