(looks at the name of the list "centos-virt"). Well, if you're using the standard rhel centos 5.1 kernel, yes, it should work. and if you can't use tools.... well, you shouldn't even try running your OS in a production virtualized environment because well that's just silly, isn't it? Speaking of which, I was talking to some friends about building a fully paravirtualized rhel/centos that works with xen, vmware, virtualbox, etc. Do you guys feel like that's a product you would consider using? - Allen Kai Schaetzl wrote: > Allen Tsang wrote on Sat, 3 May 2008 15:57:57 -0400: > > >> Also just to review, clocksource=acpi_pm should be used in conjunction >> with the tools.synctime = "true" flag in your vmx file. >> > > And you have verified that that kernel I was talking of even knows > "clocksource=acpi_pm" and that I am able to run VMWare Tools? ;-) > > Kai > >
