Hi, I did all the steps following Chen's instructions. I am still having a problem. I have tried vmware workstation and fusion. In the vmware workstation, I got a blank screen after booting. When I press alt + f1, I can see the following messages.
[time] init : cannot find '/system/bin/mountd', disabling 'mountd' sh : can't access tty: job control turned off [time] warning: 'app_process' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use) How can I fix it? It's hard to pinpoint what to do.
