Hello,
I've been using ubuntu 12.04 on my old laptop in vmware workstation 7.x without any problem.
Just today i got my new laptop with core i7 vpro processor, and installed vmware workstation 7.x on it again.
When trying to use ubuntu 12.04 image i get the error:
"
The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. You will need to power off or reset the virtual machine at this point.
"
I googled for it, but no answer worked for me. All the hits i got where from users trying to run mac osX on there vmware.
I did try editing the vmware config file with the options op PAE = true, and some more from the mac forums.
No go.
Now i thought lets try to install a new fresh image.
But even the install DVD will not boot, producing the same error.
Now i am lost : help !
NB: all windows vm's work like a charme. Only the ubuntu's will not boot.
thanks for any help.
