I’ve got VMware 9.1 installed on Windows 8 Pro. I’m trying to run a virtual machine of Fedora 13 created on this computer. It is installed on an external hard drive, and I last opened the vm on a computer at my school running VMware 8 on Windows 7.
Now when I try to boot the vm, I get to the login screen for Fedora, but a second or two after my Windows 8 host OS BSOD’s with the error
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_EQUAL_OR_LESS.I can upload error files if someone tells me which might be useful. Any help is much appreciated.
Edit: VMware Workstation 9.1*
Edit2: Before the crash each time the event log indicates
Starting up the Adapter Driver for VMware Virtual Networks.I’ll look into this further.
Answer
Remove the machine’s network adapter, try to boot. If successful, you know what the problem is. Use a different adapter type.
