Thanks for the tip Warren ... vdso=0 now allows me to install FC2T3 as a
guest.
In fact, I installed FC2T3 as a guest on an older version of VMware (3.2.0)
and with vdso=0 I successfully did a minimum install. But, once installed I
got errors trying to run it.
OK, so copy the files over to a FC2T3 system where I have VMware 4.5.1
installed ... works just fine (if a bit slow).
Now my problem is that I cannot get a FC2T3 install under VMware 4.5.1 ... I
intend to do an nfs install with just the boot.iso. Unfortunately, I cannot
get VMware to boot the cdrom ... instead, it falls through to the network
boot.
Anyone successfully done a FC2T3 install under vmware 4.5.1? Anyone have any
ideas about my problems?
