I burned my ISO to a real CDRW, and it booted fine on a real PC. I've been doing a lot of google'ing around, and there is a LOT of talk of this problem, which appears to only effect certain IDE controllers. The "work-around" seems to be to turn off the kernel option: CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC "IO-APIC support on uniprocessors" So I ran "make menuconfig" in tmp/linux-2.4.21, turned it off, then: cd ../../scripts/ ./build.sh build opt=linux ./build.sh install opt=linux cd .. rm tmp/.done_iso_100_build-iso make iso and now VMware-4 boots fine from my ISO image. :-) CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC appears in the files: scripts/config/config_linux.up (and .smp) Should someone upload a "fix"? - BS |
