Support knowledgebase (pohletz_vm_w2k_acpi)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Version 7.3
Kernel: Version 2.4.x
VMware: Version 3.0
Symptom
When you try to install Windows 2000 as guest operating system from a raw disk,
VMware Workstation crashes with the error message:
"Error CPL0 Stack, Shutdown"
or
"INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE"
Cause
The virtual machine does not support ACPI.
Solution
Install the guest operating system on a virtual disk rather than running it from a raw disk.
