Hi,

hope to get some fast help here.

Linux: I am running VMware on Linux (Suse 7.0) with SuSE-patched
2.2.16
kernel as well as with vanilla 2.2.18 (both with reiserfs and LVM,
since I have some file systems on LVM, eg. /usr, /opt, and /home).

HW: IBM ThinkPad A21p/PIII 850+Speedstep/...

GuestOS: The Guest OS is a W2K professional (german version) with
second
hardware profile due to known W2K APM/ACPI bug (standard HAL.DLL
instead of HALACPI.DLL).

DiskCfg: Raw disks (want to be able to dual boot both systems).

Problem: After booting W2K in VMware it shows me its nice "W2K ...
Professional" logo with some additional information and then starts
with the message "Netzwerkverbindungen werden vorbereitet ..." (sorry,
its German, something like: "Preparing network connections ...". After
two minutes or so it suddenly stops with a popup window telling me:
"The cpu has been disabled by the guest operating system. You will
need to power off or reset the virtual machine at this point. Now if
I poweroff everything is ok, unless I give it a second try. Upon a
second
try to run vmware or if I reset vmware instead of powering off, the
ThinkPad stops completely (only power off of the real hardware helps).

Any ideas?

Regards,

Still sounds like a HAL or device driver problem. The reason that the
Guest OS disabled the CPU is that Windows 2000 has shut itself down.

Hello together!

we have the same problem on different Configurations. But when i boot W2K in
F8-Mode (without Drivers), than it starts without Trouble (No CPU
disabled!).
No solution?

Could be Intel SpeedStep, could be a driver conflict.
