I have encountered the same problem before, and this time I have encountered these problems. I will record these processes.
My environment: Host HOST: Windows XP SP2. Use VMware 6.5.2 to install RedHat 10.
The installation is complete and cannot be used due to improper mouse settings. Therefore, the text mode is set to start. For details, see the previous blog. After entering the text mode, use the/usr/sbin/mouseconfig command or the setup command to reset the mouse. My mouse is a USB interface. In the past, the problematic setting was generic wheel mouse USB. Change this setting to generic 2 button mouse (PS/2), then restart and enter the graphic interface, the mouse is used properly.
Network settings. Because the IP address of my host is not an intranet IP address, the bridge mode cannot be used. You can only select one of NAT and host-only. At first, I used the NAT method to access the Internet and set the virtual machine's IP address to automatically obtain (DHCP). However, when the system starts, I always say "failed to bring up eth0", so I set a static IP address for the virtual machine, the error message disappears at startup, but the network is still unavailable. The host-only method is used to set the Internet access successfully. The process of setting host-only to access the Internet is as follows: 1. Set the VM to use host-only mode; 2. Open the Properties dialog box for local connection on the host and select "advanced ", on "Internet Connection Sharing", select "allow other network users to connect through this computer's connection", select VMware network adapter vmnet1 in "Home Network Connection", and then OK. After that, Windows will set the vmnet1 IPaddress to 192.168.0.1. Start RedHat In the VM and set the static IP address to 192.168.0.2.
For instructions on configuring VM access, refer to the following link. You can also view the VMware documentation:
