After a lot of testing, I still haven't found what is causing the problem. The relevant host specs are:
Acer Aspire 2012wlmi Intel Pentium M 1.5 GHz Intel 855GME I have resolved the issue by installing a command-line only 2.6.24-19-generic kernel system and now everything works fine. I also found that when setting the guest OS vmware setting to something besides Linux->Ubuntu or Linux->Other 2.6.x kernel, the system would boot properly. ie - when creating a guest machine, I set it to Other->Other and the system would boot and run correclty, but performance was terrible. The host OS was installed from the network using the livecd instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet#A%20variation:%20Booting%20the%20%22Live%20CD%22%20image So, to reiterate, the system runs fine with 2.6.24-19-generic kernel installed from netboot hardy images on server cd with command-line only packages and any vmware guest settings. -- vmware-server crashes during guest ubuntu install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262072 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
