--=-joyT9f/8kvZVnwrJf2dZ Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The "not implemented" error message suggests to me that the VM (in this case, Win2K) is attempting to perform an operation that the emulation software (or its underlying operating system -- in this case, Linux 2.4.2 under FreeBSD emulation) doesn't know how to perform. I received a similar message when attempting to install Windows XP on VMWare 2.x -- however, IIRC, mine didn't crash or require a hard reboot. My hypothesis is that -- were this a real, modern Linux machine -- that operation would succeed. However, since this is a binary emulation situation (one that itself manages its own layer of binary emulation), and one that more directly interfaces with the underlying hardware than most Linux emulated programs, the likelihood for such an operation to fail increases. As far as I understand it, the solution involves more fully implementing the Linux emulation. Either this, or it could just be a plain bug in VMWare -- though I've learned from experience that it's always best to blame oneself before assuming others are at fault. --=-joyT9f/8kvZVnwrJf2dZ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA/ECBsUdqurN0fljsRApA1AJ4/UiNU4rL13cBZqTOrOnUP10FdXwCfaTe1 gw6/ezwzvqxOeWBwyH7wdyY= =INjL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-joyT9f/8kvZVnwrJf2dZ--
