However, when I power it on my ESX host, it says "error loading operation system". The Guest OS is Ubuntu Linux (32-bit). vmware fusion error loading operating system 1vCPU, 1024MB Memory.

How To Fix Error Loading Operating System Windows Xp
VM that you are using because it doesn't recognize linux operating systems. Also, ESX only supports SCSI hard drives and Workstation will typically use IDE.take a look at this: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-5751 Like Show 0 Likes (0) Actions 2. Re: Help! error loading operating system eagleh Jul 30, 2008 9:49 AM (in response to IamTHEvilONE) Thanks. So from the link you gave, they are doing, firstly, P2V (while in my case is V2V); secondly, they are using SCSI (I assume as you suggested). So, in my case, Linux + V2V + SCSI, no way to be able to put on ESX? Like Show 0 Likes (0) Actions 3. Re: Help! error loading operating system IamTHEvilONE Jul 30, 2008 11:44 AM (in response to eagleh) P2V or V2V doesn't make much of a difference. The deal is that you are going from one set of hardware to another, and the Linux OS doesn't know what the changes were.It's like you ripped an IDE hard drive out of a physical host, copied the data

Error Message Error https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000018923 Loading Operating System Cause Each virtual machine has VMDK descriptor file(s) in virtual disk(s), and there is a parameter "ddb.geometry.sectors" in a VMDK descriptor file. ESX always sets the parameter as a fixed value when creating the virtual machine. For instance, the parameter is set as 63 when a virtual disk is larger than 2GB. For details, please refer to the VMware KB 1026266 in below Solution section. Similarly, the parameter is set as the fixed value even if restoring a virtual machine where the parameter is set as the customized value (e.g. ddb.geometry.sectors = "53"). In this case, the parameter is different from the original one, and the restored virtual machine fails to be started with an error "Error Loading Operating System". Also the same issue can occur when P2V is performed. Solution Please edit VMDK descriptor file(s) to set a parameter "ddb.geometry.sectors", "ddb.geometry.headers" and "ddb.geometry.clinders" as the original values when this issue occurred. As for editing *.vmdk , please refer to VMware KBs below. Recreating a missing virtual disk (VMDK) descriptor file for disks split into 2GB files (1026266) Ubuntu 64 Bit P2V to ESXi 4.1. After P2V Ubuntu 64-Bit the server unable to bring up and some of the issue controller was "IDE", error during startup is "Error on loading operating System". Since this Ubuntu 64-Bit was using http://www.azmer.my/p2v-ubuntu-server-64-bit/ filesystem LVM, So a little bit different with normal file system :p. Let go thru step by step :-. Pre-Requirement : 64-bit system rescue cd or Ubuntu Server 64-bit or any of Linux Rescue CD 64bit with supported LVM. Putty (To access into ESX servers) with root access. vSphere Client Issue or Error : "Controller Disks as IDE" "Error on loading operating system" after change to LSILOGIC. Resolved Step : 1. Change the error loading IDE to SCSI Controller Disks as LSILOGIC Using vSphere Client -> VMname -> Edit VM settings -> Remove current VM virtual disks (ensure you know where you stored it). To change, you must using "putty" and edit the VMname.vmdk files and change parameter of "ddb.adapterType = "ide" to "ddb.adapterType = "lsilogic" and SAVE IT. Using vSphere Client -> VMname -> Edit VM settings -> Add -> Add Hard Drive -> Use Existing Drive -> error loading operating Point to your .vmdk and ADD + OK Power-on. 2. After your power-on, you see this error "Error on loading operating system". This was cause your boot loader corrupted. Boot-up using your systemrescue 64bit cd / Ubuntu Server 64-bit. Since, this was lvm file system so the step could be different with normal filesystem. Perform command : $lvscan Ensure you see the logical volume and the path. ( Ensure your mount with correctly ) $mkdir /mnt/tmp $mount /dev/lvlvolname/root /mnt/tmp $mount -o bind /dev/ /mnt/tmp/dev $mount -o bind /proc/ /mnt/tmp/proc $mount -o bind /sys/ /mnt/tmp/sys $mount /dev/lvlvolname/usr /mnt/tmp/usr $mount /dev/lvlvolname/boot /mnt/tmp/boot $mount /dev/lvlvolname/var /mnt/tmp/var $chroot /mnt/tmp When you do $chroot and having this error "chroot: failed to run command ‘/bin/zsh'" Do this step :$SHELL=/bin/bash after that run again the $chroot and should be work. If you are using LILO Boot loader, Using this step as below :- $lilo $exit $reboot If you are using GRUB boot loader, Using this step as below :- $grub grub> root (hd0,0) grub>find /boot/grub/stage1 grub>find /boot/grub/stage2 grub>setup (hd0) grub>quit reboot. Exit the chroot and reboot it~! and Hep Hep HoreYY, the Ubuntu VM machine able to be boot-up and running :). So, that it's for me today! I'm quite tired.. Anyway Enjoy! seeya!
