Notes on VMware Workstation 4, Build 5289
Build 5289 is a release build of VMware Workstation 4.
New in Version 4.0.1
New operating systems supported
Version 4.0.1 provides support for the following recently released operating systems:
Microsoft Windows Server 2003
Red Hat Linux 9
SuSE Linux 8.2
FreeBSD 4.8
Shared Folders in a Windows guest use UNC path names
In version 4.0.1, with the latest version of VMware Tools installed, Windows guest operating systems identify shared folders using a UNC path. For details, see this discussion of shared folders.
Updating to Version 4.0.1
If you are updating to version 4.0.1 from version 4.0, the process is simple.
On a Windows host, uninstall version 4.0 using the Add/Remove Programs control panel. When prompted, leave your existing license in place. Then install version 4.0.1 using the update installer that you downloaded from the VMware Web site.
On a Linux host, no special steps are needed to uninstall the previous version. Install version 4.0.1 using the update installer that you downloaded from the VMware Web site.
Virtual machines created under version 4.0 should run with no problems under version 4.0.1. However, we recommend that you update VMware Tools to the version included in Workstation 4.0.1. Follow these instructions to install VMware Tools.
If you are upgrading from an earlier version of VMware Workstation, please read the notes on steps to take before you upgrade.
Known Issues
If you are installing a Linux guest operating system, we recommend that you use the text mode installer.
Some graphical mode Linux installers do not work properly in this release of Workstation.
If you are installing Workstation 4 on a SuSE Linux 8.2 host that has been updated, force the configuration program to compile the VMware modules.
If you are installing VMware Workstation 4 on a SuSE Linux 8.2 host and have applied updates to the host operating system, you may see an error message when you try to start a virtual machine. The message may include the phrase "unable to reserve memory" or "could not lock ... memory" or "NOT_IMPLEMENTED F (785):681."
The approach SuSE Linux 8.2 uses for minor updates does not change the kernel version number. As a result, when you install and configure Workstation, it uses kernel modules that are not appropriate for your running kernel.
To resolve the problem, you need to rerun the Workstation configuration program with a switch that forces it to compile kernel modules appropriate for your running kernel. To do so, as root, run the following command:vmware-config.pl --compile
主要意思,就是
1,更新了VM-W4之后,请更新你的VMware-tools;
2,如果没有顺利启动VM,就运行vmware-config.pl --compile ;
主要就这个,没有别的,不多罗嗦了。 |
