[arch-general] archlinux in vmware server 2 beta in archlinux x86_64 systems
Hello! I'm more or less still working on providing x86_64+i686 virtual machines on a compilation machine to devs and TUs. Problem staying unresolved for days and days: the Arch Linux installation media kernel detects the VM as a 32 bits system. Does anyone have an experience with it? On a unrelated matter, I've been pretty busy and late in my work those days. I got back into meetings and it takes me a looot of time. Happily there will be quite less meetings from the second half of September, but then I'll be back in class and will have a team to build/manage. -- Geoffroy Carrier

We're using VMware Server 1.0.x here at work, and Arch didn't have any problems installing there, so probably it's some regression in 2.0 beta, I guess it may be somehow related to CPU that VMware reports. What CPU do you have? Is hardware acceleration enabled? And did you try some other distro? -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

Xeon X3350 (4 cores @ 2.66GHz), hardware virtualization enabled. Specifically: flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good pni monitor ds_cpl vmx smx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr sse4_1 lahf_lm I didn't try any other distro yet. I'll give debian/fedora a try right now. -- Geoffroy Carrier
