 Posted: Tue Apr 20, 2004 11:01 pm Post subject: Slow VMWare startup [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi. I installed VMware 4.5.1 and am having a strange problem. I can start vmware fine, but when I try to power on the virtual machine, it just sits there for a minte or so, doing nothing, and then starts up as normal. Everythin works fine after that. It did not used to do that prior to the upgrade. My .vmx config file follows. TIA!
| Code: |
#!/opt/vmware/bin/vmware
config.version = "7"
virtualHW.version = "3"
memsize = "512"
scsi0:0.present = "TRUE"
scsi0:0.fileName = "win2000Pro.vmdk"
scsi0.present = "TRUE"
ide0:0.present = "TRUE"
ide0:0.fileName = "/dev/cdrom"
ide0:0.deviceType = "atapi-cdrom"
floppy0.fileName = "/dev/fd0"
Ethernet0.present = "TRUE"
sound.present = "TRUE"
displayName = "win2000Pro"
guestOS = "win2000Pro"
priority.grabbed = "normal"
priority.ungrabbed = "normal"
ide0:0.startConnected = "TRUE"
isolation.tools.dnd.disable = "TRUE"
uuid.location = "56 4d 0c ec ef 8e 0c 61-20 03 f3 7b ce 1e df 4f"
ethernet0.addressType = "generated"
ethernet0.generatedAddress = "00:0c:29:1e:df:4f"
ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset = "0"
tools.syncTime = "TRUE"
floppy0.startConnected = "FALSE"
uuid.bios = "56 4d 0c ec ef 8e 0c 61-20 03 f3 7b ce 1e df 4f"
sound.virtualDev = "es1371" |
Don't know if anything is wrong with the above.

Well, for anyone that may be having this problem: This was not a vmware problem at all. I had recompiled my kernel, and did not compile in VIA82XXX chipset support for the motherboard. I only noticed this when I tried to enable DMA for my DVD drive (which I use infrequently) and it gave me an HDIO error. Anyway, to make a long story short, enable proper IDE interface support in the kernel, and the slow vmware startup goes away. To find out what that interface is, do:
and read the output.
Yes! I finally have fast vmware startup! At 2:16am! |
