VA boot hangs on "Uncompressing Linux...OK, booting the kernel"

[Maelito77]

Hi Guys
I am trying to setup the laptop demo with Vmware SRM and LHN VSA.
I have followed the instructions but I still can get the VA to boot up as everytime this hands on "Uncompressing Linux...OK, booting the kernel".
I have imported the OVA and also registered the VMX and still the same, even on different VWorkstations.
Can someone please help?
Thanks, Ismael

How long did you wait?
The first boot does take a long time -
even on a server with multiple fast disks.

Hi
I have left it all night long and still no movement...
I have even downloaded a new VA from Vmware market place.
Have you tried loading this VA on your side?
Maybe it's something to do with my Workstation version (7 & 7.1)
Thanks

Hi
I managed to get this to work.
I have re downloaded this VA from HP and used VMware Workstation 7.1.
Now I can use the VA.
YAY!!!!!
Thanks
