[[SOLVED] DSM5 update 2 with gnoboot 10.5 success]

Any update regarding the transoding issue with gnoboot ?

[[GUIDE] Nanoboot ESXi 5.5.0 Perfect Install]

For sure I should upgrade my hardware.

 

But I’m still worried about the nanoboot vm: loading the kernel and doing nothing (DSM not even deploy) uses 5 times more CPU on my host than all my others vm (with many services running):

 

For example:

- Freebsd 8.x : 40MHz when idle

- Ubuntu 11.4: 20MHz when idle

- Windows 2012: 10MHz when idle

 

I don’t like to waste energy

 

Could you guys check host CPU usage when idle with the vpshere client ?

[[GUIDE] Nanoboot ESXi 5.5.0 Perfect Install]

Hi,

 

Thanks to this guide, I'm now running nanoboot on my ESXi 5.1 perfectly.

 

Just one point is frustrating me: the vm is consuming around 500MHz of CPU all the time. I can see that on vsphere client, even the guest system is idle (99,6% idle from a “top” command in the console), there is still 500MHz on the host. This is even more than a windows guest (around 100MHz on idle)

 

Actually, I noticed this behavior at the end of the step 4, before installing DSM 5.0. So I guess something in nanoboot is over consuming CPU.

 

My host CPU is a “old” Intel Core 2 Duo. Do you think it can be relate to missing instructions or something?
