VMware GSX Server 2.5.2Features | Documentation | Knowledge Base | Discussion Forums If you try to power on a virtual machine on a SuSE Linux 8.1, 8.2 or SLES 8 host, a segmentation fault error occurs. In order to run virtual machines on a SuSE Linux 8.1, 8.2 or SLES 8 host, you must boot the host with the apic parameter. You can enter this parameter into the boot loader file to avoid having to specify it every time you boot the SuSE Linux host. For more information and instructions on how to modify the boot loader file, go to sdb.suse.com/en/sdb/html/fhassel_vmware_segfault81.html. SuSE also cautions that "in some few cases (in connection with certain hardware), the use of the kernel parameter 'apic' may result in an unstable Linux system. In these cases you will not be able to use the application VMware with the SuSE Linux 8.1 kernel." |
