vmware linux kernel driver config

基於linux_2.6.33核心

 

$make defconfig

$make menuconfig

選擇下面幾項：

 

Device DriversSCSI device support  ---><*>   SCSI disk support<*>   SCSI generic supportSCSI low-level drivers  --->[*] LSI Logic New Generation RAID Device Drivers<*> Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers ---><*>   Intel ESB, ICH, PIIX3, PIIX4 PATA/SATA supportFusion MPT device support  ---><*> Fusion MPT ScsiHost drivers for SPINetwork device support  --->Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)  --->[*] EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers <*>   AMD PCnet32 PCI support

這樣編譯後無需initrd即可啟動系統。

在VMware論壇上找到的資料：

Network: PCnet32 (under 10/100 devices, then you have to say "yes" to "onboard controllers")
Sound: Esoniq AudioPCI 1371
SCSI drives (only if your virtual hard disk uses SCSI): FusionMPT for SPI

All processor-related settings should just match the ones on the host CPU. 

If you plan on moving the VM between machines that are not the same subarch (i.e., pentium 3, pentium 4, etc.)

 you might want to use more generic processor settings.
