VMWare Not Playing Nice with Server 2008 SP2
Posted by Keith Elder | Posted in Windows | Posted on 03-06-2009
I just had to restart my VM and went ahead and applied Server 2008 SP2 to it. When it rebooted I got this error:
\
VMware Workstation unrecoverable error: (vcpu-1)
NOT_IMPLEMENTED d:/build/ob/bora-156735/bora/lib/disklib/sparse.c:6283
A log file is available in “D:\Virtual Machines\QLDevTools\vmware.log”. A core file is available in “D:\Virtual Machines\QLDevTools\vmware-vmx-7004.dmp”. Please request support and include the contents of the log file and core file.
To collect data to submit to VMware support, select Help > About and click “Collect Support Data”. You can also run the “vm-support” script in the Workstation folder directly.
We will respond on the basis of your support entitlement.
If you are running Server 2008 in a VM and thinking about upgrading to SP2, you may want to wait. If find a fix I’ll let you know.
NOT_IMPLEMENTED d:/build/ob/bora-156735/bora/lib/disklib/sparse.c:6283 is from the host… Which I believe was Windows 7?
