Failure while installing SCO UNIXWare7.1.4 on vmware workstation9, virtualbox
Sir I am trying to install UnixWare7.1.4 on vmware workstation9, virtualbox and I am getting the following error


FATAL BOOT ERROR: decompression failed


For installing SCO Unixware7.1.4 I have created virtual harddisk of size 18GB, 1024 RAM, 64bit video memory, chosen unixware7.1.4 as cdrom, one processor having one core. and when I started the virtual machine I am getting the above error.


I have tried the installation of UnixWare7.1.4 in both vmware workstation9, virtualbox. but none succeeded and I am getting the same error for both.


My host operating system is Fedora X86-64.


Kindly help me to install UnixWare7.1.4 on either vmware workstation9(if possible) or virtualbox or any other virtual machine software's.


Regards,
Rupesh.

VMXNET(9)							   Open VM Tools							 VMXNET(9)

NAME

       vmxnet - vmware kernel module

SYNOPSIS

       modprobe vmxnet

DESCRIPTION

       This  is  a  Linux  kernel device driver module that drives VMware's fast networking device. As it is backed by real (virtual) hardware, it
       should be automatically loaded by hotplug or udev as needed. For best performance, it is recommended to enable TSO on all interfaces driven
       by vmxnet using ethtool.

       The shell code to do this might look like this:

       if which ethtool >/dev/null 2>&1; then
	  for ethif in `ifconfig -a | grep ^eth | cut -d' ' -f1`; do
	     ethtool -K $ethif tso on >/dev/null 2>&1
	  done fi

       The VMware backend may present the fast networking device as an AMD vlance device instead of the actual vmxnet device.
