Hi All,
I have recently purchased CML personal and am really struggling to get this up and running on my system using VMWare Workstation.
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Version: 10.0.19045 Build 19045
System Type: x64-based PC
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor, 3801 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s)
BIOS Version: American Megatrends Inc. 4403, 27/04/2022
SMBIOS Version 3.3
BIOS Mode: UEFI
BaseBoard Manufacturer: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
BaseBoard Product: ROG STRIX X570-I GAMING
BaseBoard Version: Rev X.0x
Installed Physical Memory (RAM): 32.0 GB
Total Physical Memory: 31.9 GB
Available Physical Memory: 19.2 GB
Total Virtual Memory: 36.7 GB
Available Virtual Memory: 18.7 GB
A couple of things to mention:
- I have been in the BIOS and enabled SVM which I understand to be required for virtualization on AMD.
- I have completed all Windows Updates (including optional)
- I have completed a BIOS update to the latest version
- I am running the latest version of VMWare Workstation
- I have downloaded the files for CML directed from Cisco
- Attempting to run the system with Virtualized AMD-V/RVI gives a support error for the platform and does not power on within VMWare Workstation (see screenshot).
- Removing this option, results in the system booting to the CML boot screen, however there is then a firmware bug that appears, followed by a failure for CML initial configuration initialization (see screenshot), after which it boots to login screen (see screenshot).
I have looked up these errors online and do not appear to be the only one having them, however am unable to find any solutions for this at all.
