Jeos and Initramfs

with 2 comments

When installing Ubuntu Jeos in VMWare, you need to change the disk type in VMWare from SCSI to IDE, otherwise, when it goes to boot, it will appear to hang and then launch in to initramfs, because it is not expecting SCSI disks, even though you may have installed on SCSI disks. This was very frustrating for a couple of hours.

  2. Thanks Jared. I had the same issue and I found your post by Googling. Solved my problem.

    Christian, you can specify the disk type when you create a new VM by select Custom instead of Typical. Not sure if you can change the disk type of an existing machine.
