Install rocky 10 on vmware failure

Installing Rocky Linux 10 on VMware was unsuccessful; it keeps getting stuck like this after loading the image.

host:win11 x64 24h2,vmware 17.6.3

Ah the fun and joy of propriertary software like VMware.

I use VMware ESXi and version 8.0 patch 3 and I can install Rocky 10 with a EL9 template. I expect the problem is VMware doesn’t support installing EL10 machines in VMware Workstation Pro. You’ll prob need to wait for a new version of VMware Workstation to be released.

Hi @aaadddzxc and @iwalker:

This is a Known Issue in 10: See this from the release notes for a workaround.

Good luck!

Confirmed working with VMware workstation pro 17.
17.6.2 build-24409262

Thanks about the 3D acceleration info

That worked for me. Thank you!
