Choosing and Installing Guest Operating Systems

Do not start X until you have installed VMware Tools.

Enabling Sound After Installing Red Hat Linux 7.2

VMware GSX Server: The sound device is disabled by default and must be enabled

with the virtual machine control panel (VM > Settings) after the operating system has

been installed. To set up the virtual machine to play sound, see Configuring Sound in

the GSX Server documentation.

Known Issues

Guest Screen Saver

VMware Workstation or VMware GSX Server: On a Linux host with an XFree86 3.x X

server, it is best not to run a screen saver in the guest operating system. Guest screen

savers that demand a lot of processing power can cause the X server on the host to

freeze.

Installation Hang

Installation sometimes hangs at running /sbin/loader for no apparent

reason. The hang is caused by a bug in early versions of the 2.4 Linux kernel. The bug

has been fixed in kernel 2.4.5. Distributions based on this kernel should install without

problems.

For earlier 2.4-series kernels, a workaround is available. Although the Linux kernel bug

is not related to CD-ROM drives, the workaround involves changing a VMware

configuration setting for the virtual DVD/CD-ROM drive.

Power off the virtual machine and close the virtual machine window. Open the virtual

machine’s configuration file (.vmx or .cfg file) in a text editor and add the following

line:

cdrom.minvirtualtime=100

Save the file. Now you should be able to install the guest operating system as

described above. After you finish installing the guest operating system, remove this

setting from the configuration file, as it may have a performance impact.

Migration to a Different Processor

VMware Workstation or VMware GSX Server: VMware recommends you do not

migrate a Red Hat Linux 7.2 virtual machine between hosts when one host is running

on an AMD processor and the other is running on an Intel processor.

During the Red Hat Linux 7.2 installation, Red Hat Linux 7.2 chooses a kernel that is

optimized for the specific processor on which it is running. The kernel may contain

1 2 ... 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 ... 147 148
