PXE cannot start an image of VMWare workstation 7: driver missing

I have a client with this problem. I found a thread at the Microsoft web site:

http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en/w7itprohardware/thread/5c74d385-98f9-47c8-962f-b0cfc47abadf

The possible solution would be to add the following line to the .vmx file say VMware to emulate an Intel card.

ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000".

http://communities.VMware.com/thread/69483

But in the file of the client, it can not find this configuration at all. The next line is: ethernet0.vnet = "VMnet1.

Any suggestions?

Thank you very much!

Leon

LeonHanChina,

Welcome to the VMware Community Forums!

> ethernet0.vnet = "VMnet1.

It is the network to which the virtual machine is attached, not the device.  I remember, VMnet1 = host only network... which I think would be fair if you want to perform a PXE boot anywhere, but the host.

You can still add the line to dictate the network card.  If the line is not present, it will assume a specific adapter based on the chosen operating system type.

Kind regards

  • An image of vmware workstation running on ESXi 5.1 9

    Hello

    I have a vmware image of Win Server 2008 I am able to run on a vmplayer running the Ubuntu 64 bit PC. According to vmplayer, it's a workstation image 9.

    I also had vm workstation 8 32-bit on a 32-bit PC Win7, but I am unable to run the image here, probably because the host is only 32-bit.

    I now run the image on a 64-bit server running ESXi 5.1. I know there are steps to export an image workstation to ESXi via my computer, but my workstation allows 32-bit vm convert a 64-bit image? What are my options?

    Thank you!

    It is less the host operating system that is important, it is the CPU that you use and available BIOS options (e.g. "VT - x" for Intel processors)

    ESXi does not support the format of sparse virtual disk Workstation uses by default, so you can use VMware Converter to convert/transfer the image of the workstation to ESXi.

  • Cannot open the exe of Vmware workstation

    Hi all, thanks for reading this post.

    I have a file called vmware-workstation-full - 7.0.0 - 203739.exe which, once clicked is not installed.

    I have norton product of internet security in 2012. I also disabled but not luck.

    Pls let me know any solution? Previously, I had VMware installed, but later I uninstalled it.

    Thank you

    Welcome to the community,

    If nothing seems to happen at all when you start the installation, open the Task Manager and check if there is a process of "fixcamera.exe". If so kill this process and begin the installation. If this isn't the case, the first step to solve the problems is to verify the signature of the downloaded installation package MD5.

  • PXE cannot start with XPS 13 9350

    My company has recently had to buy a few new laptops due to expansion, and the XPS 12 9333 was no longer available, so we sold the XPS 13 9350 instead, having received assurance that it is the same system and everything will be supported as it was with the XPS 12. I ran through the normal steps in the BIOS to ensure a compatibility PXE boot (disable Secure Boot, select Startup inherited, etc. options), but when I hit the F12 key to try to perform a network boot I don't see the option in the start menu. All I see is Windows and the Samsung SSD Boot Manager. Someone at - it else here had this problem and managed to resolve it? We use Ethernet USB21000S2 StarTech adapters suggested, that Dell sold us.

    Trying to deal with their customer support has proven me why I HATE DELL with a passion. Advised to my boss to go with ASUS or Lenovo, but she wanted to go with Dell because of a long-standing commercial relationship. You can not get someone who speaks clear English on line, you will need to explain your problem 10 times before you finally get someone who is able/willing to help. No one seems to understand what I meant by PXE boot or told me he is not allowed on their laptops.

    Hi Rick,

    Thanks for the reply. We have tried all the suggestions that you pointed out, but nothing has been able to get the Startech adapter to work. You don't know if it is related to two USB 3.0 ports or not, but it seems that the Startech USB21000 does not work with the Dell XPS 13 9350.

    I had to buy an adapter Ethernet USB - C, and which went through without any problems. About 1/2 also took time to the Startech adapter took which was a pleasant surprise.

  • Cannot start on USB 3.0 external hard drive?

    I have created a startup disk, so much for my new Mac Pro 2013 and finally to put in my old Mac Pro silver tour 2012.

    I did a clean install of El Capitan on an external HD. Nothing else on the subject. The Western Digital 2 TB Green is in a pregnant Sabre, connected to a USB 3.0 hub, which is connected to the new Mac Pro 2013. I tried a couple of different ways to select external HD and boot to it, but I keep priming in Macintosh HD SSD installed in the Mac Pro (2013).

    I was wondering if the problem is the hub. Should the HD be connected directly to the Mac Pro?

    Should the HD be connected directly to the Mac Pro?

    Yes, exactly.

    The reason is that a USB Hub arrives too late to be seen at boot time, so the drive is not available to start from.

    It is also a problem for the use of 'hang up the keys' at startup - beyond the hub keyboard is not visible at startup.

  • VMWare Workstation - clone an image but not the OS license?

    I have Windows 7 and 2008 and images Linux VMWare Workstation fully licensed, with additional products installed and configured with data for a demonstration complex.  I can't give a partner (that is outside my company) because I don't have a license for redistribution of OS, so I was wondering if it is possible to make a sort of clone of my image into an image VMWare the BP prepared as fully licensed, without crushing for example the Windows license info , so not a clone of bit for bit full.  For Linux, I think I could make rsync between two images, but how can I do this on Windows with its registry etc. ?

  • Workstation 8 vmware-workstation-server works not not on Ubuntu 11.10

    Hi people:

    Just, I have upgraded my Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.10 and replaced VMWare Server 2.0 with Workstation 8.02.  It seems that the vmware-workstation-server service is not running.  I'm unable to connect from a web page and the application vmware itself is not able to connect.  When I try to activate the dialog application vmware service I get the following messages in the terminal window where I ran vmware:

    update root@naplesubuntu:~#-rc.d: WARNING: /etc/init.d/vmware-workstation-server LSB missing information

    If I disable the vmware application service, I get the following in the terminal window:

    Stop server workstation: fact

    If I believe that the service is running, but not doing anything, even though I do not see a specific process for this and there seems to be a vmware-workstation-server executable in/usr/bin.

    Not very well where to go from here.   I tried to uninstall and reinstall the workstation and even using a different port number for the Desktop server, but without any result.

    Suggestions welcome.

    Are you running other services on port 443 on this host?

  • Could not start service windows drivers Foundation-User-Mode Driver Framework on the local computer, error 31: a DVICE attached to the system does not work

    When I go to start the Service for Windows drivers Foundation I get the following error message, cannot start service window drivers Foundation-User-Mode Driver Framework on local computer, error 31: a device attached to the system is not functioning

    I was not able to find an answer in help

    Unless you write your own drivers for XP and using the Windows Driver Foundation Service to help you debug, you can disable the WDF Service.  It will be one less point to start your system and will not not just sitting there working day and night with nothing to do.

    On some systems, if WDF is activated, you can begin to see some errors of svchost.exe like this:

    Application error: the instruction at "0x7c91b21a" referenced memory at "0x00000010". Memory could not be "written".

    The best solution for this problem is: disable the WDF Service.

  • Cannot start the virtual machine on VMware Workstation 12.1.0

    The host machine is W2008R2, VM is the same. When im trying to start the current VM I see VMware screen, then "download files" screen loading, then VMware loading new screen and etc.

    Log file is attached below.

    An update of the firmware could certainly help.  After you install the update of the firmware, it can be useful following the instructions from the motherboard to reset the firmware configuration by default (if its configuration is not too heavily customized) and then reconfigure with custom settings, you might need.  Check that you have disabled in your TXT firmware settings too... who's going to stop us from using the capabilities of VT - x from the host.  And, where there is doubt, the error message is not really pleasant on cyclical food... Some systems cannot put a change of configuration of VT - x into force without being truly disconnected from power for a while, so if in case of doubt, he put it off and remove the power outlet for a few seconds.

    Your CPU is certainly capable of VT - x and support all the VT - x features required by VMware Workstation... Simply to force the system to allowing the use of VT - x and then it should start to work well.

    See you soon,.

  • Cannot open a Workstation 6 image, last used in Workstation 6.5, now in VMware Workstation 6

    I have a Virtual Machine that:

    1. Was created in Workstation 6

    2. This Workstation 6 has been upgraded to Workstation 6.5

    3. I used the virtual machine for several weeks under Workstation 6.5, but

    4. The virtual machine is identified as a vm Workstation 6.0 on his 'home page' under Workstation 6.5.

    Now, I copied the VM to a different Workstation 6 machine still running.  When I try to open the virtual machine in Workstation 6 image, I get a pop-up error message saying:

    [

    VMware Workstation

    Could not open the machine virtual e:\vmware-images\oscar\oscar.vmx.  It is a VM Workstation ACE Edition.  Please open it in VMware Player.

    ]

    Again, so it's a vm workstation 6, used last in the 6.5 workstation and now moved to a host workstation 6.  So, how can I use it and run it?

    Thank you.

    Downgrade the VM in WS 6.5 (update or change the version).

    Also, make sure that the copied disk is intact by comapring checksums.

  • VMware Workstation VMX unrecoverable ERROR when starting a VMachine

    Hi all

    This is my first post and would really apreciate to help as I am facing a problem with VM Workstation (and with VMplayer)

    I installed an evaluation of VMware Workstation 9 on my PC (see attached the System Configuration.png).

    When you try to start a newly created VMachine I still get the same error you see in 2 attached images-screenshots 'fatal error VMX' and after that "cannot find a peer process valid to connect to" (see attachment VMware Player - Workstation and VMware Player - Workstation Error_02.png Error_01.png)

    I don't really know what else to try, I tried to reinstall VM Workstation 9, I uninstalled VM Workstation 9 and tryied with VMPlayer 4 and 5, but I still get the same error.

    As you can see in attachment System Configuration.png my motherboard is made with the NVidia GeForce 7100 Northbridge and SouthBridge NForce 630i2008.

    I have attached vmware.log and vmware-vmx - 3468.dmp

    I also check with VM tools boot cd and the results where 'compatible with VMWARE = YES ". only RDTSCP was: No.
