I recently installed Workstation 7 on Fedora 12.* However, I cannot install a guest OS.* So far the only VM I've been able to get running is one I copied over from my Fedora 9 system.* I can create the VM without problems, but when I try to instsll the guest OS my system gets slower and slower until it is completely unresponsive.* I tried installing Windows 7 32 bit and it get to the point of printing out "Starting Windows" and then access to the CD drive stops and the system starts to get more and more unresponsive.


Has anyone else seen issues with running VMware Workstation 7 on F12?

I use VMware Workstation 7 on Fedora 12 i386 since day when kqemu
support has been dropped,

My system is a laptop w/ Pentium Dual Core and 3 GB RAM.

Try to reduce the memory of guest os allocated by vmware (eg: 256
instead of 512) it's depend on host ram.

If your system support VT-x go with KVM.

I have not had any issues with VMWare 7 on
F12 however I have not yet tried to create a Windows 7 VM. (I am currently
running XP x86.)

So far I have succeeded in getting 2 virtual machines running.* One,
Windows XP, I copied over from a Fedora 9 system.* The other, Fedora
12, I actually installed using Workstation 7.* This install, which I
did from an iso image, went perfect no issues at all and I allocated
1Gb for memory, and F12 isn't even listed as a supported guest.* I
tried to install Ubuntu 9.10, which is a supported guest os, it starts
fine, asks a few questions, starts the disk partitioning and then
suddenly powers off.* I'll try lowering the memory allocation and see if that works.* It's funny that the only VM I can install on Workstation 7 is Fedora 12 :-)

Hi

I am running w2k (prebuilt) and a new install of Windows 7 Pro
on F12 x86_64 using W/S 7.0.0 (64bit)

I installed the Windows 7 from .iso file

No known problems with VMware - quite a few with Windows 7, SAMBA as
PDC !!

John
