VMWare Workstation 14 On CentOS7

Hello there,

I’m encountering blocking issues with VMWare Workstation v14/v12 on CentOS 7.

The issue is that any Linux guestsystem will get network-disconnected after a short while. I tried w/ brand new guest installs, guests coming from a v12 WS. Tried different guest network settings, I always get disconnected. I found several cases like this on the Web, but couldn’t see any working solution yet.

My CentOS7 runs 4.9.75-204.el7.CentOS.x86_64 kernel.

On my previous CentOS 6, still alive, v12 works like a charm.

Does anyone have experience with this?

Regards,

  • Hi,

    Is the issue the same when running the stock 7 kernel?

    Regards

  • Hello Phil,

    No way to boot this hardware with 3.10 kernels, I’m afraid, this was my first struggle with it (Dell XPS-15 9560). At first with this configuration, I was running WS v12, which was showing the issue
    (periodic network disconnection). Upgraded to WS v14, was not installing at all at the beginning, since few updates it installs but the issue is there again.

    Regards,
