Summary | 0004017: Kali 2017 problem with VMware Workstation | ||||
Description | kali-linux-2017.1-amd64.iso downloaded, SHA-256 checksum okay. Things I've tried: I'm aware there is a VMware image but I'm surprised installing from the ISO doesn't seem to produce a working VM. Live install/run is fine - it's the actual install and then reboot, after which the virtual disk seems to be corrupt in a number of ways. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Create new VM in VMWare Workstation. Not selecting LVM in the installer seems better but after installing extra packages (such as open-vm-tools-desktop) after boot or rebooting the first time results in file-system corruption. | ||||
Can you confirm the version o workstation, and is the host disk OK? The 'default' options worked ok for myself, shall reinstall with the other options to see if i can re-produce |
|
It is VMware workstation 12.5.5 build-5234757. |
|
What options are you using for the disc, the default scsci ? (just so i can match :D ) , noticed that some of the installs seems to fail so i can poke through and see if i can see anything |
|
Looking into this further, I've switched to a SATA disk and everything is ok. |
|
could be the SCSCI driver that ships with kali maybe? Takes wild stab in the dark, as its the default disk type may be worth troubleshooting still :) |
|
Kali does nothing special to the SCSIĀ driver so this issue should be reported to VMWare I guess. They can then followup with the upstream kernel community if needed. Anyway closing here on the Kali side as there's nothing we can do currently. |
