After upgrading your Endian Firewall from 2.3.0 to 2.4.0 via the efw-upgrade process, you can encounter some problem booting your virtual machine.

The problem is probabily related to a missing driver for the LSI Logic controller

In order to permit the Firewall to complete the boot process, you need to edit manually the .vmx file of your virtual machine , reconfiguring the hard disk from SCSI to IDE.

Find the configuration of the scsi hard disk and controller

scsi0.present = “TRUE”
scsi0.sharedBus = “none”
scsi0.virtualDev = “lsilogic”
scsi0:0.present = “TRUE”
scsi0:0.fileName = “Endian Firewall.vmdk”
scsi0:0.deviceType = “scsi-hardDisk”

Comment it out :

#scsi0.sharedBus = “none”
#scsi0.virtualDev = “lsilogic”
#scsi0:0.present = “TRUE”
#scsi0:0.fileName = “Endian Firewall.vmdk”
#scsi0:0.deviceType = “scsi-hardDisk”

Create a new HardDisk in IDE mode that point on the original vmdk files :

ide0:0.present = “TRUE”
ide0:0.fileName = “Endian Firewall.vmdk”

Thats all.

Enjoy your Endian Firewall 2.4.0

Acer M265 Downgrade – No Grazie

Ordino 3 PC Deskotp Acer VERITION M265 il 15 Aprile 2010 con il Downgrade a Win XP (necessità operative legate ad alcuni programmi utilizzati).

Arrivano i 3 bellissimi PC (come da prassi ormai i CD sono  un costo e quindi non vi è traccia di CD con il S.O. e i Driver) che sono dotati di un manuale di ben una pagina dove si spiega come fare per il downgrade a Win XP o il ripristino di windows 7 e null’altro.

Mi leggo il manuale e inizio l’avventura…

Installo Win7 come da procedura quindi con Alt-F10 parto a fare il downgrade… tutto sembra procedere bene… ma dopo circa mezz’oretta ecco che parte Win7 e non windows XP.

Non mi perdo d’animo e convinto di aver sbagliato qualcosa rifaccio la procedura, come non detto non và. Ripeto la stessa cosa anche sul secondo nella speranza che sia un baco di quello presso in considerazione ma niente.

Chiamo quindi ACER che mi dice che è un problema risaputo (ma se è risaputo perchè non lo risolvete?) e quindi che mi mandano i CD di ripristino di Win XP.

Dopo ben 3 settimane di attesa e una decina di telefonate a ACER ecco arrivare 3 bellissimi CD.

Tutto contento parto con il primo CD (Formatter) e quindi il CD 1 e CD2.

Tutto anche qui sembra procedere bene… ma al riavvio rimane il cursore lampeggiante. Penso sia un problema di file corrotti e così tento con un CD XP professional il ripristino del S.O. ma nulla da fare.

Chiamo quindi ACER per l’ennesima volta che mi dice che  anche in questo caso è NORMALE, il problema è legato al BIOS (ora non potevano dirmelo prima??).

Morale della favola, devo mandare il PC ad ACER per la riparazione, dopo 3 settimane non ho ancora a disposizione i PC.

Ad oggi 12 Maggio non ho ancora ricevuto i PC.
