These are the details of my physical server:
Windows Edition: Windows Server 2008 R2
Processor: Intel Xeon
System Type: 64 bit operating system
I am trying to run CentOS 7
using VMware Workstation Pro Version 14
.
After creating the VM, when trying to run it I get a black screen in the console.
while exiting from the console view you can see actually CentOS 7 installation and leaving it running will actually successfully install CentOS and will ask you for the language but I can't choose anything from outside the console view, neither inside the console view(black screen).
Please note the following:
- I tried both CentOS 7 minimal and everything isos downloaded from the CentOS official website
- I enabled Intel Virtualization in the BIOS as requested in VMWare Community Website
- I started the VMWare Authorization Server in the services section as mentioned in VMWare Community Website
- I have no anti-virus running
I tried using VMWare Player instead of VMWare Workstation and the same error occurred
