[sles-beta] SLES12 Beta - Running on VMware Workstation - English (UK)

[Waite, Dick]

Grand Morning,

        I had the feeling yesterday evening that SLES v12 Beta would run on a VMware Workstation. I have tried a Workstation 10 and 9 and it crashes. It's found the VMWare devices, and then comes out with:
Linuxrc crashed. :-((
Press ENTER to continue.

And if you do press ENTER
Loading Basic drivers... ok

And then a message from VMWare:  The CPU has been disabled ....

The smilie after the crashed is also part of the message.


        This morning I had a bit more time while drinking coffee and ran without amending the parms and what do I see, it's loading.

        Seems it does not like being told to work with English(UK) if you leave it using English from over the dark grey Atlantic then it loads and then you can tell it to use English UK and it "downloads it"

        So a warning to English (UK) people, don’t switch and at IPL time *waite* for screens after boot.

This is *very* rep-ro so I'll leave it to the grand people of Nürnberg to allow the good people of UK English to use the Queens English ;o)

        So far this has been the only issue.

Regards,
