 Posted: Tue May 13, 2008 6:59 pm Post subject: Frame buffer under Vmware-fusion while booting |
 |
|
Hi,
Has anybody been able to configure vesa frame buffer (with/without splash screen) with gentoo running under vmware-fusion (maxosx 10.5.x)
I would like to have something more than 80x25.
I followed the "http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_gensplash" without success.
I've tried uvesafb but nothing happens while booting (so still 80x25 text mode).
I've tried vesafb and at least now I see while booting that it goes to graphics mode (vmware window resizes to a promising 1024x768 size), but I only get a blank screen up until X11 loads... 
My grub options
test 1:
| Code: | title=Gentoo Linux vesafb
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage-2.6.23-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/sda3 video=vesafb:mtrr:3,ywrap vga=791
|
Result: blank screen, when X11 loads automatically switches to X and stays there.
test 2:
| Code: | title=Gentoo Linux vesafb
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage-2.6.23-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/sda3 video=vesafb:mtrr:3,ywrap vga=791 splash=verbose,theme:emergence console=tty1
initrd (hd0,0)/fbsplash-emergence-1024x768
|
Result: blank screen, when X11 loads automatically appears but switches back to console (blank). I have to use ssh to it to modify/reboot, etc.
I have an additional problem: can't change to any console using keyboard.

hi luispa
well i have a macbookpro, and i use Vmware fusion to virtualize. I have some problems with vmware fusion but only when i try to install Gentoo....
At today i have vmware fusion version 1.1.2, i dont have problems with kernel panic or things like that, my primordial problem now is about my network, i cant start my network after i finish my installation, i mean when the kernel finally loads, he said cant start net.eth0, please verify if your module, and i cant start my network, do you have the same problem and know how i can resolve it????
thanks for red this, and i hope you reply me... thanks for all |

Hello.
Please try to compile the E1000 in your kernel. I have it as module. I'm putting below the network relevant parts of my .config kernel file.
Also remember to add e1000 to your modules.autoload file:
| Code: | asterix-vmlinux ~ # cat /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
# Driver de red
e1000
|
Even though it's probably not needed, I've also installed the vmware tools. To do it, go to VMWare->Virtual Machine->Install VMWare tools. Then mount the cdrom (mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom) and inside /mnt/cdrom you'll find the .tgz file, uncompress and install it. Befor installing it, remember that you need to create the following directories structure:
| Code: | asterix-vmlinux ~ # ls -al /etc/rc
total 36
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 248 Jul 1 07:51 .
drwxr-xr-x 54 root root 4008 Jul 1 09:41 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 Jul 1 08:15 rc0.d
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 Dec 24 2007 rc1.d
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 112 Jul 1 08:15 rc2.d
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 112 Jul 1 08:15 rc3.d
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 Dec 24 2007 rc4.d
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 112 Jul 1 08:15 rc5.d
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 Jul 1 08:15 rc6.d
|
Once vmware-tools is installed, remember to create a link at /etc/init.d:
| Code: | asterix-vmlinux ~ # ls -al /etc/init.d/vmware-tools
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Dec 24 2007 /etc/init.d/vmware-tools -> /etc/rc/vmware-tools
