Hi Alen Yao,

This image will not run as is in a Virtual Machine such as VMware. I have 
included some steps below to help you get the basic kernel and initial services 
started but the UI and graphic stack will not start in VMware. This is 
something I am looking into at the moment but it requires some modifications to 
a few middleware components (and I am still facing issues with Enlightenment 
crashing).

Anyway, if a basic console is sufficient for your needs, then take a look 
below, it will hopefully help you move forward.

Cheers,
Geoffroy

Subject: [IVI] Looking for help on Tizen running on VMware virtual machine

Hi All,
My PC's OS is winxp sp3. And I have stalled  vmplayer5.02  on my PC. Its OS is 
ubuntu 12.04.
I have already created live USB using 
http://download.tizen.org/snapshots/2.0/ivi/latest/images/ivi/ivi-tizen-2.0_20130424.2-sdb.raw.bz2.
[Geoffroy] How exactly did you create the Live USB?
What I would actually recommend you to do instead is, from a Linux system 
(possibly your Ubuntu Virtual Machine):

1) Turn that disk image into a VMware virtual disk:
- bunzip2 -k ivi-tizen-2.0_20130424.2-sdb.raw.bz2
- qemu-img convert -f raw ivi-tizen-2.0_20130424.2-sdb.raw -O vmdk 
ivi-tizen-2.0_20130424.2-sdb.vmdk
- Transfer that vmdk ivi-tizen-2.0_20130424.2-sdb.vmdk VMware disk image to 
your WinXP system

2) Add new VM in VMware:
- Select 'I will install the operating system later'
- Use 'Linux' -> 'Fedora'
- Give it a new name, e.g. tizen-ivi-2.0
- Create a new disk: will be deleted later and a new one (mapped to < vmdk 
ivi-tizen-2.0_20130424.2-sdb.vmdk> will be added as IDE(0:0))
- Once the VM has been created, go to 'Edit virtual machine settings'
- (optional) Uncheck the 'Connect on power-on' option for the CD/DVD (unless 
you have such device on your dev machine
- (optional) Uncheck the 'Connect at power-on' for Printer
- Remove the current Hard Disk
- Add a new Hard Disk
- Select 'Use an existing virtual disk'
- Select vmdk ivi-tizen-2.0_20130424.2-sdb.vmdk
- When booting for the first time it will ask you if you want to upgrade the 
format, select 'Keep existing format'

Note that this will *just* give you a minimal boot, the graphics and UI won't 
come up so depending on what you wanted to do you will be most likely rather 
limited.

IIRC, the system gets in an endless loop (basically waiting for the Window 
Manager to start). To get out of this and have access to a console, get the 
VMware to grab mouse/keyboard, go to Ctrl-Alt-F1 (you may need to press 
Ctrl-Alt-Space initially to indicate that the next sequence if for the Virtual 
Machine and not the host OS). Once in F1, type Ctrl-C (to cancel the wait loop) 
and from there, go to Ctrl-Alt-F3 where you should see a login prompt. Username 
is root, password is 'tizen'
When I set virtual machine booting to USB, I find that failed.  So when I 
restart virtual machine, it still is ubuntu, not ivi-tizen-2.0.
Can ivi-tizen-2.0 run on virtual machine? If yes, what and how can I do for 
that?
[Geoffroy] Short answer is not at the moment.
Any advice is welcome.

Thanks and Best Regards,
 Alen Yao
