VMware 6.5安裝solaris10 x86系統無法啓動問題

問題描述：

  宿主機爲ibm x201i筆記本，i3 雙64bit處理器。虛擬機爲VMware workstation 6.5，安裝solaris 10；

在安裝完solaris進系統的時候，出現下面的提示：A virtual CPU has entered the shutdown state. This would have caused a physical machine to restart. This can be caused by an incorrect configuration of the virtual machine, a bug in the operating system or a problem in the VMware Workstation software. Press OK to restart the virtual machine or Cancel to power off the virtual machine.

Installing Solaris 10 as a 32-Bit guest operating system on a 64-Bit host machine (1975)

Details

I have a 64-bit host machine with a processor that does not support 64-bit guests. When I try to install  Solaris 10 as a 32-bit guest operating system, an error displays, indicating that I do not have a supported 64-bit  processor. How can I install Solaris 10 as a 32-bit guest operating  system?  

Solution

When the Solaris 10 guest detects the host processor's    64-bit capability during installation, it attempts to enter     longmode. The VMware product then displays an error message indicating that    you do not have a supported 64-bit processor.

You are able to    work around this problem by suppressing the longmode feature by adding the following line to the guest virtual machine's    configuration (.vmx) file:

monitor_control.disable_longmode = 1

Note: Once you have successfully installed the guest operating system,    remove the line from the configuration    file, as the configuration may later cause guest application issues.

To force Solaris 10 to boot in 32-bit mode on a    64-bit host, execute the following command from a command line    prompt within the guest:

eeprom boot-file=kernel/unix

Note: This command requires superuser privileges.

Note: If you upgrade the guest operating system (for    example, from Solaris 10 Upgrade-1 to Solaris 10 Upgrade-2), you    need to re-execute the eeprom command because the entry is automatically removed    on upgrade.

按照文章給出的方法，將VMware的配置文件solris 10.vmx中添加

monitor_control.disable_longmode = 1

即可正常啓動系統。
