I was able to reproduce the issue with VMWare Server 2 (build 122956) and the kvm_intel module from kernel 2.6.24-22.45; despite unloading the kvm and kvm_intel modules, VMWare server was unable to start up a virtual machine. Using the kernel in hardy-proposed, 2.6.24-23.46, I was able to start VMWare server instances after unloading the kvm modules.
I also verified that kvm was able to start up instances, including after unloading and reloading the kvm modules. Jay Wren: leaving the kvm modules loaded will prevent VMWare Server from being able to start up vms. ** Description changed: VMware Workstation 6.5 checks CR4.VMXE as a proxy for whether the CPU is in VMX mode, so leaving VMXE set means we'll refuse to power on. + + TESTCASE: + 1) load kvm modules (on intel hardware that supports it): sudo /etc/init.d/kvm start + 1.5 [optional]) start and stop a kvm instance + 2) unload kvm modules + 3) attempt to start up a VM from within VMWare workstation or VMWare Server ** Tags added: verification-done ** Tags removed: verification-needed -- Hardy: VMware Workstation 6.5 won't power on https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268981 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
