Booted okay, and similar to the report on XenServer. But this time. I got 2 (two) red asterisks during boot. The 1st one seems to say "Error ... read-only file system". The second starts with "Warning temp file left behind ..." (or something similar) `rc-update del udev-postmount default && reboot` ... no problem. Unmerged udev && reboot ... no problem. There. No problem with XenServer and/or VMware. Except for the 1 or 2 red asterisks during boot (which I'm not sure caused by udev-->mdev switch or something else). I'll experiment with VirtualBox (on Windows) tomorrow. This might be much more interesting :-) Rgds, --=20 FdS Pandu E Poluan ~ IT Optimizer ~ =C2=A0=E2=80=A2 LOPSA Member #15248 =C2=A0=E2=80=A2 Blog : http://pepoluan.tumblr.com =C2=A0=E2=80=A2 Linked-In : http://id.linkedin.com/in/pepoluan
