Hi,

I am trying to install Oracle Linux 6.5 on vmware workstation 9, but during the installation i am getting popup box with below message.

unsupported hardware detected
The hardware ( or a combination thereof) is not supported by Oracle Linux) .......

My laptop is having SSD SM871 2.5 7mm 256GB hard drive.

Is this not supported for linux installation ?

Please suggest

Thanks

The problem is most likely not the physical hardware in your laptop, but the virtual hardware created by VMware for your virtual machine. Try to experiment with the settings of the virtual hardware. For example: use network adapter type E1000, not VMXNET3, etc.
