Description
I've created a vmdk disk image of the supersilverhaze release using
qemu-img convert -O vmdk distri-disk.img distri-disk.vmdk
and used it to create a new "Other Linux 5.x or later kernel 64-bit" VM in VMware Fusion 11.5.5.
Distri does not boot when I use this image with a virtual hdisk of type SCSI. It hangs right after
Loading Linux 5.6.5-15 ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
I've then added the kernel parameter loglevel=7 to get more verbose output and noticed several error messages about unknown symbols. For example:
mptscsih: Unknown symbol mpt_put_msg_frame_hi_pri (err -2)
crypto_simd: Unknown symbol cryptd_alloc_aead (err -2)
Switching the virtual hdisk type from SCSI to SATA works around the issue and distri will boot fine. However, even in this case I still see the "Unknown symbol" log messages in the dmesg output.
