hi all,
I'm newbie to OpenWrt and I'm trying to create a VM machine using VMware Workstation Player 15: I followed instrunction exlained at "OpenWrt on VMware HowTo" page, but I keep getting stuck with no cursor prompt, even after hours waiting, look at screen in attachment.
Changing vmx file with "ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"" even gives "error vmx file corrupt", VMware Workstation Player 14 doesn't give this error,so I'm going with 14 atm but behaviour is still the same.
Anything I can do?
thanks in advice
VM configuration

Stuck at screen
Typically you need to press Enter to get the login prompt.

Sorry, no other ideas.
It works for me in KVM/QEMU well enough.
There're also other people on the forum using VMware.
You can try to search and contact them.
I could try QEMU too, but I don't know how to use it, it is quite complicated to begin with.
If I'm not asking too much, could you give me something I could replicate? I dont know... images, config files, commands, something just "unzip and go" if possible
?
thanks

virsh edit vm_name
Replace rtl8139
with virtio
and power cycle the VM.
