I installed VMWare Workstation 9 a few weeks back and tried to create a new Ubuntu based VM from scratch today. I used the recommended settings using Easy Install, but as Ubuntu was installing inside the VM, Workstation would crash at random times (sometimes during the installation file copying, sometimes during the VMWare Tools installation, sometimes right after the BIOS), but the error would always mention something about either:
vcpu-0:EPT misconfiguration
or
vcpu-0:ASSERT vmcore/exts/hv/vt/hv-vt.c
I've attached screenshots of both errors and the log file of the EPT misconfiguration crash.
I've also tried a VM running Windows 7 x64 that I had created on another computer running Workstation 8, and although it doesn't crash as often as the Ubuntu VM, it would still crash at random times (shutting down, startng up, post-BIOS) with the same errors. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Workstation 9 with no avail--is this a hardware incompatbility or some kind of bug?
My host system is an HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 Quad Edition:
-Intel Core i7 3720QM
-8 GB DDR3-1600
-Intel HD Graphics 4000 / nVidia GeForce GT 650M
If anyone could shed some light on this issue, I'd greatly appreciate it!
