Hi,
I wanted to try running Vmware ESX without the effort of finding a
physical machine. Googling around I found that it is possible to run ESX
under other hypervisors/emulators, e.g. Vmware Workstation. So I thought
i'd give KVM a go.
Using kvm-66 on 2.6.24.4-64.fc8PAE, the (mostly text mode) installer
crashes after starting with "esx text". (I can't easily test kvm-68 at the
mo due to needing to do a reboot of the host)
Microsoft Virtual Server R2-SP1 kinda works, however the virtual NIC
is unsupported by the ESX installer.
Qemu 0.9.1 (for Windows) fails at a similar point.
Is this a "fixed in newer kvm" or a generic problem (be it kvm or ESX
installer CDROM kernel) ?
I hadn't even got as far as installing/running ESX.
Regards,
Ian
