Dead VM :(

diogenese · 29 Oct 2007 at 23:44

One of my VM's has died, It won't boot. I've had to delete it and start afresh.
That's another 16 hours crunching lost:grr:

I messed around with running two clients per VM, I have two VM's on a Q6600, and had loads of crashes and reboots so that may have killed it. I'm no VM/Ubuntu guru, I just followed Mr sirius's instructions! I went back to one client per VM and everyting was fine for a few days then one locked up and didn't reboot.

It's still not up and running. The new VM is working, all the updates are done, ia32 lib installed, Client sitting in a new folder with mpiexec and core a1. I ran -configonly OK but it fails to crunch

No, I did it manually.

I've tried finstall, still no joy :grr: I can do the config bit but no crunching .

I nuked the VM, downloaded a fresh Fiesty Fawn ISO, made another new VM, loaded everything back up and it's working.... Phew!
So I now have one fresh Feisty Fawn VM and my old Dapper Drake that hasn't missed a beat through all the mayhem! Sometimes computers really wind me up
