Cannot Install Fedora 9 on VMWare
Hi, I have just started learning linux and wanted to install it in vmware on my notebook. I have installed Linux Red Hat 9 and windows XP (32 bit) on it without any problems, however, I can't seem to install Fedora 9. I get an error that goes something like the software is for x86 - 64 but i686 processor found.
The Following are the notebook specs: HP Pavillion DV4t Core2duo T6400 (Doesn't have VT Technology) 4GB DDR2 800 320GB HD X4500 Thanks for the Help Kind Regards Mack1982 |
You cannot install a 64-bit OS in VMware because your Core2 Duo T6400 CPU does not support Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT). See http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=40479
You can however install a 32-bit version of Fedora 9. |
Hi,
Welcome to LQ! Which VMware? What is the host OS? Please provide complete error message. Your original error message seems to point to a 64bit version install attempted. |
@fpmurphy
The DVD says that it has both 32bit and 64bit, How Do I select the 32bit version? @onebuck (thanks for the Welcome) I am using: VMware Workstation Version 6.15 build-126130 Host O.S is Vista Home Premium 64bit Error is "This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your cpu" |
