Re: arch on vmware -- no boot with 2.6.21 kernel

http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/1/246

looks like a problem with something in the kernel changing, as well as a problem in emulation of the lsilogic device.
I suppose the workaround is to either apply the kernel patch in that thread, to switch to buslogic, or to continue using kernel 2.6.20.

That is a bummer, because vmware generally recommends using the lsidriver, because it performs better. I guess I will stick with kernel 2.6.20 on my arch vm's for a while..until a later vmware server version fixes the emulation.

Hi cactus,
Does new kernel 2.6.21.5-1 fix this issue?

Dunno. I haven't tried it.
