[Puppet Users] Learning Puppet Virtual Machine vs. Parallels Desktop = linux kernel panic

2012-05-25 Thread Stefan Lasiewski
I am attempting to use the Learning Puppet VM [1] with Parallels Desktop 7 
on a Mac (Snow Leopard).

Unfortunately, Parallels does not support OVF images, so I must try the VMX 
image. Parallels has the ability to convert VMware images, although I don't 
know if this works well.

If I attempt to import the VMX image using Parallels, I run into two 
problems. I will include the screenshots on Google+ (See link [2])

   1. Parallels fails to detect the operating system in the VMX image. 
   Please see the screenshot at [2]. Regardless, I went ahead with the import 
   of this image and Parallels says the import was successful. 
   2. After importing the image, I boot the Virtual Machine. However, the 
   OS is unable to find any of the LVM volume groups, and the the kernel 
   panics. 
   
I am unsure if this is a problem with the VMX image, or if Parallels is 
doing something wrong. The main problem seems to be that LVM cannot create 
the volume group.

I know this is a long shot, but I am hoping there are other Mac or 
Parallels users out there who have tried the Learning Puppet VM.

Thank you for your help,

Re: [Puppet Users] Learning Puppet Virtual Machine vs. Parallels Desktop = linux kernel panic

2012-05-25 Thread Dan White
I fought with this about three months ago and got the answer out of Parallels 
Tech Support:

1. Convert your VmWare virtual Machine but do not run it.
2. Go to Virtual Machine drop-down menu - Configure - Hardware - Hard Disk 1 
and change its location from SATA to IDE (e.g. IDE 0:1).
3. Run your Virtual Machine.

It works for me.  Please let me know if it works for you.

Shameless plug here - In the current beta version Veewee is now able to 
build Parallels systems.


https://github.com/jedi4ever/veewee

That might be useful to create your environment, as there is no real 
need to import it?

And it will install ruby and puppet

Thank you Ygor, this works! 

Now that you mention it, I remember that the Parallels virtual SCSI and 
SATA devices do not always play well with RedHat or FreeBSD.

Ygor, Stefan, thanks so much for tracking this down. I will add these 
instructions to the Learning Puppet front page.
