Experience the rapid VM-Linux Enterprise Application-Linux server application information in Linux. The following is a detailed description. It seems that the speed is very good. For a single CPU host, the virtual simplified version of Windows Xp is very smooth, and the memory of MB has been running very well.
However, there are indeed some time-consuming points during installation. The new kernel is not always well supported. Fortunately, there is a patch, and the VM can run on Linux as long as it is patched.
The Patch name is VMware-any-to-any-update. Let's take a look at Petr's description of the Patch in the VM community, but the link he provided is outdated, the above FTP patch does not work well on 2.6.24 or 25 kernel. the patch to be updated is already available for 2.6.24, but for 2.6.25, only an alpha version
If you use the 2.6.24 patch, download the patch from the attachment in this article and decompress it and run runme. pl. If you are worried about it, back up the patch first.
With the 2.6.25 patch, the patch is now only a version of very alpha. If it is executed on my machine, there will still be a warning, but fortunately it can still work. Download and unzip to/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source or the corresponding folder, note that the vmware-2.6.25.sh is under this folder, do not put it into another folder, and then execute the vmware-2.6.25.sh, this file is just a shell script consisting of a simple patch, after which you can configure the VM vmware-config.pl.
