Hello Erast,
This could well be the same as a bug that was logged:
6553970 VMware Workstation 5.5.4/6.0beta choked when
booting snv_63 or s10u4_06
So you may want to talk VMware about this.
I have tried b65 on build 6.0.0 build-45731 of VM Workstation
and it works with SCSI disks.
Thanks for the info Pete!
In my case this is VMware Server Console, 1.0.1 build-29996 and
SCSI-emulation is quite tested there.
What worries me is that b61/b62 works fine with the same SCSI-type disks
on the same VMWare version. I didn't verified b63, but b65 clearly
introduces *regression* on the same platform.
Usually driver provides a workaround for HW bug and VMWare is simply yet
another HW platform out there and our drivers must respect that. imho.
We all hate closed binaries! So, we can not fix that on our own.
At any rate, I hope some of you will jump on it and provide a patch.
I'm sorry to say that, but hearing "...talk VMware about this..." is NO
good.
Hi Erast,
the MPxIO on mpt project is what I work on, and we
are very interested to get any and all information
that you have about this problem.
In particular, if you have a crash dump we would
be *very* grateful to get a pointer to it so we can
investigate it further.
thankyou in advance,
James C. McPherson
