I have a VMWare Workstation image of Gentoo Linux that I transfer between my
desktop and my notebook (for LAMP/Ruby development) and it works fantastic
on both. Both are running WindowsXP as the host VMWare. Both are Pentium4.
Recently, I tried to share the image with a co-worker and it pukes out about
the time it does some udev stuff at the top of starting up. The (rc.init ?)
scripts start breaking and spewing lots of errors and ultimately doesn't
mount the filesystem properly. We are able to manually mount it later, but
then lost of other things are broken. VMware doesn't have any errors we
could find, not even in the logs. It seems to be an OS issue.
Does the host CPU make a difference? I thought it was all emulated? I tried
to recompile the kernel with the generic '386 CPU settings and removed all
power mgmt etc, and the same issue happens.
Can I not transfer between Intel and AMD CPUs? Is there some magic thing in
the kernel I need to set so it can work on both?
We attempted several times and tried using VMWare player and also VMWare
workstation.
It would really suck to have to have him re-compile everything just to get
the same dev environment setup as mine.
I also posted this on the VMWare forums in case anyone cares:
