Can't power on a new VM

I created and used this setup for some time, so there's no issue with the way it used to work:

  • multi-boot PC, including Gentoo and Ubuntu, each on their own partition
  • Gentoo kernel compiled to run as a "real" machine or as a "virtual" machine inside Ubuntu
  • VM set up in Ubuntu to run the Gentoo partition as a physical disk (works fine)
  • Ubuntu runs VMware workstation 7.1.3 build-324285.  It runs the Gentoo VM fine, as well as various windows VMs

Now I know there are dangers associated with doing it like this, but I accept that and it was working fine, until:

I decided to move some free space between the Ubuntu and Gentoo partitions.  They were both extended partitions in the same logical partition.  I used gparted, fixed Grub for both installations and now they can both boot natively again and run perfectly.

However, VMware now fails to run the Gentoo VM using the physical disk.  "Well duh" you say, the disk has moved.  So I deleted the disk from the VM and added a new physical disk.  Then I get this error message when I try and start it:

Unable to change virtual machine power state: The partition table on the physical disk has changed since the disk was created. Remove the physical disk from the virtual machine, then add it again.

Well, I just did that, so I did it again.  Same error.  I removed VMware and located all vmware files and deleted them.  I re-installed VMware, set up the VM again, and I get the same error straight away.  Now, I know the physical disk has not changed since it was created this time - how could it?

I would appreciate your help, but before you chime in and say "what do you expect, it's a physical partition?" it used to work this way fine, and it should still do so Smiley Happy

I searched for the error message, but the posts all seem to relate to entirely different problems (ie. windows physical partitions and some boot camp thing...)

thanks Smiley Happy

here u can give a try...

copy the vmdk of the vm as a backup.

create a new vm and point the disk files using existing disk file

power on the vm..

see if it helps.

Hi,

thanks for the suggestion.  I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "point the disk files using existing disk file"...

I currently have the vm in /vmware/Gentoo/

If I create a new vm, lets say /vmware/Gentoo-new/, do you mean edit the /vmware/Gentoo-new/Gentoo-new.vmx file at the line scsi0:0.fileName = ... and point it to /vmware/Gentoo/Gentoo.vmdk?

or something else?

Remember that the vmdk files are almost empty since the disk is physical...

thanks Smiley Happy

Instead of deleting the .vmdk of the Raw Disk and adding a new one try creating a totally new VM and .vmdk of the Raw Disk that way there is nothing from the old VM to conflicting with the new VM and let us know what happens.

Thanks WoodyZ but I've done that multiple times.  I deleted the VM in VMware, then I deleted all the files left over in the VM directory, and when that didn't work I uninstalled VMware, ran `locate` to find all vmware related files, deleted them, and re-installed vmware!

Still the same error Smiley Sad

I guess the disk isn't changing, but VMware is not reading the right information about it somehow...

thanks!

what you see is expected behaviour

let me guess : you use GRUB to switch between multiboot-options

this means that the MBR that is copied to a file and referenced in the physical disk descriptor vmdk has changed since you created  the descriptor.

there are ways to handle this type of problems but I need to see a screenshot of diskmanagement and details about your bootmanager to give suggestions

yes I use grub but I don't see how this could make a difference since:

  1. I'm not rebooting the machine to see the problem, the problem occurs before I even boot the vm, and
  2. it used to work like this, with grub, before I moved the space around with gparted

If it helps:

I have solved this before by adding a dummy disk with grub installed.
Then VMware does not complain because the stored MBR keeps in sync with the real MBR

another option : use a Iso or floppy image with a bootmanager

OK, so I removed the disk again, and add a new physical disk, with partition access only (not entire disk access).

This time I only add one partition: sda7

Before I even save the new settings, I click on "New Hard Disk (SCSI)":

Disk File

Gentoo-1.vmdk

Disk Information

Unable to retrieve disk information: The partition table on the physical disk has changed since the disk was created. Remove the physical disk from the virtual machine, then add it again

and of course I can't boot the virtual machine.

Something else is wrong here, it's not VMware finding disk inconsistencies, it's happening before it even tries the disk for the first time, so how can it change between try0 and try0?

Do I have to re-install ubuntu and try again?!!

please post the latest vmdk with the vmware.log - in case you get a new one
otherwise post the UI-log

Hi, I just deleted all vmdk files and created a new one.  There is no vmware.log, and where do I get the UI log from?

hmmm - I think something in your partitiontable is not standard compliant - I have seen this before with tables created with Linux-tools - but I am not sure what is wrong ???

does it work if you create a vmdk type "fullDevice" instead of "partitionedDevice" ?

the path to the UI-log should be displayed when you click menu > help > about

hehe I just tried that - it works using the full device, but that's quite dangerous so I can't leave it that way forever.

there is no cross-platform standards complient partion table format afaik so it's a "best guess" for Linux, and "do what I want" for windows.  I might try loading DOS and see if it can "fix" the entries without changing the partitions.

Here's the ui log, it looks like there is indeed a problem getting the partition list or something:

So it turns out Windows XP no longer provides a copy of fdisk on their recovery console...!  I loaded a copy of freeDos, and it can only see one partition in the extended partition (it should contain 4), so not sure what's going on there.

However when I create the physical disk, vmware shows me all 7, so it's obviously using different ways of reading the same partition table...

I assume if I can fix that, then VMware will start working again.  I have to backup 100Gb first though...

> Failed to get partition list

thats what I assumed - gparted is somewhat lax with partitiontables.
You may try the tool "aefdisk" - google it - that tool is able to fix some types of similar errors

the partitiontable may list the partitions not in the same way as as they appear on disk and VMware  does not like that

when using Linux guests using "fullDevice" is not as  dangerous as with XP for example - make sure you disable all "automount" features your linux may have

thanks, I'll check it out!

that _was_ the case, but I fixed that before making this post.

yes, the other day I had the partition mounted, and started VMware at the same time.  Luckily I realised and unmounted and shut it down before doing much.  I had to run fdisk a few times and lost a few files into lost+found, but I think it's good now!

I'll check out aefdisk and hopefully that's the end of it!

Hmm - aefdisk will not help if you already sorted the partitions as they appear on disk

lol - I just downloaded it and tried to boot it!  I couldn't get it to work of a usb stick anyway, looks like some character encoding problem or something.  I just need a dos style fdisk that will "fix" my partition table without having to delete and re-create it... well I've done my backups so maybe deleting it isn't a bad thing... That's a job for next week!

you will find dos-boot-floppies with fdisk en masse if you google for it

if you use one of them as the boot-image for a CD ...
