Novell netware 6.5 iso download for free#
You can fetch a NetWare 6.5 SP8 install CD off of Novell's site for free to do testing. Don't know when I will get around to trying 4.1.x again.I use these VMs for various things. I do not know if that has an effect either. Mind you, I am using the NetWare bootloader, versus letting it load up DRDOS and then the NW kernel (SERVER.EXE) unloading DRDOS from memory. It's the VT-x checkbox that determines if it boots or not. When I had 4.1.6 installed, I tried booting my NetWare install both with and without Nested Paging enabled.

I have not tested this on 4.1.0, because I have a Windows Server 2003 Guest that will Blue Screen on that release, so I am using 4.0.12 for now. I have found that by disabling VT-x, it will run fine, albeit a little sluggishly. I have attached the logfile of the Guru Meditation, my VBox configuration, and a screenshot of the point at which NetWare dies. when it goes to check the local drives, it will crash the VM and a Guru Meditation box will pop up. After that, it will sit silent for at least a minute or two. It will say something like:Īnd the dots will disappear once a second as a countdown to abort the install.

Unfortunately, the direct image file is gone, but fd32de.exe can be opened in 7-Zip (or similar tools), and the "fd32e.ima" file extracted and renamed to fd32e.img to supplant this:Īfterwards, boot the NW65OSSP8a.ISO from Novell's website with VT-x/AMD-V enabled. Attempting to load NetWare 6.5 SP8 on VBox 4.0.12, while having VT-x/AMD-V enabled will trigger a Guru Meditation crash of the VM several minutes after booting.įirst, one MUST boot the CD using the "fd32e.img" floppy image, otherwise, the int13 fatal error happens (I'll file a separate ticket for that).
