Title: Virtualization: Endian as a guest operating system. Post by: netbrain on Tuesday 23 February 2010, 02:13:02 am Does anyone know if there is an Endian virtualized image? Has anyone made one? And how does Endian fare under different virtualization environments? Please come forward with your experiences.
Personally i've tried running Endian under KVM.But at almost every reboot Endian did a fsck, and was unable to mount root properly. The times endian was able to mount root and boot properly it worked fairly well. However QOS didnt work too well, but that might have been my configuration that didnt work. But now endian died horribly and i was unable to save it. So im going for a reinstall to see if it fares better on my second attempt. Title: Re: Virtualization: Endian as a guest operating system.

After some days, the virtual Endian reboots and get stuck on Boot asking for any keypress.
After you press any key the system will run again. Solutions: -Track down the error and fix it (hard) -Monitor VMWare guest status (hard because the machine is running, but just stucked.) -Create a watchdog on host (easy, just ping efw and reboot guest if neccesary) Title: Re: Virtualization: Endian as a guest operating system. Post by: arminf on Wednesday 03 March 2010, 07:37:56 am Endian offers a vmware image which you can run on esxi server.
both free for personal use. use esxi or vmware server windows. you can run endian as vmware. but i discoverred on vmware workstation that proxy is reducing the speed and youtube freezes sometimes. also caching is not so brilliant as you mostly write to the disk instead of memory cause of vmware. best usage is esxi or a "old" box minimum 1 ghz 1024 mbram. or what i did -> Lanner FW7530 cheers armin |
