VMware Workstation 16 - Could not locate linux data #182

Closed DemaxDragonTix12 closed 2 years ago

DemaxDragonTix12 commented 2 years ago

So I wanna make a my own ubuntu distro and I tried booting to vmware workstation 16 and I get this error... I tried switching from SCSI to SATA, changed to VMware Workstation 12, didn't work

Any ideas?

I did not also edit the iso image... the iso config is set to default

I had the same issue. I created new virtual machine with SATA hard disk (instead of default SCSI) and preallocated space. Now it works for me. screenshot 1646311188

I believe you are missing scsi drivers in your linux-live build. You're able to add these by modifying linux_live/initramfs/initramfs_create

You might try adding copy_including_deps /$LMK/kernel/drivers/scsi

in my case, the driver I had to add was copy_including_deps /$LMK/kernel/drivers/usb/storage/uas.*

I didn't have mail notifications in the past so I overlooked most of the issues unfortunately. So now I am closing all issues. Please reopen if you still need to, yet I cannot guarantee that I can help with your current issue.
