Antwort: Re: vmware gsx with redhat 9

["Andreas Reschke" <Andreas Reschke behrgroup com>]

Hallo James,
thanks for the answers about Red Hat 9. I don't won't to install Red Hat 9 
into VMware. I want install Red Hat 9 native on the server and then VMware 
GSX-server on it to run multiple Linux- and Windooze-session in it.
When I understand you correct, you mean that Red Hat 9 ist not tested 
enough ?

Thanks
Andreas

I don't know about VMware GSX 2.5, but I can tell that Red Hat Linux 9
has been exhibiting what I can only describe as "flaky" behavior on
VMware Workstation 4.0 and 3.2.  (For example, sometimes booting with
"linux single" would properly enter single-user mode, and sometimes it
wouldn't.)

We're currently operating under the hypothesis that either RHL9 is
tickling a bug in VMware's x86 hardware emulation, or that RHL9 breaks
in subtle ways when confronted with VMware's "hardware".

I would *not* assume that RHL9 will work properly when running in a
VMware virtual machine.  I'd definitely recommend testing it
thoroughly before relying on it.
