Hi,
I copied some VMDKs over to a new laptop. These are for a Centos 64-bit guest. However, when I try to start the guest on the laptop, I get a popup that says "The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system". I can see the guest outputs "Probing EDD" to the console.
Does anyone know how to get this working?
FYI, I found this:

but when I go into the VMware guest's BIOS, I don't see a setting for "EDB".
This is on VMware workstation 6.5x. Host is Windows 7 64 bit.
Thanks,
Jim
Hi,
I found that the HOST BIOS had a setting for EDB (Execute Disable Bit), but that was already set to "Available".
I tried setting it to "Not available" but the guest still has the same error when I try to start it.

Hi,
Also, BTW, the current laptop processor is an Intel I3. It has VT-X enabled.
