I downloaded the Hadoop demo virtual machine from Cloudera and tried to open it with VMware Player on my 64 bit Windows 7 machine. The system has Intel i7 - 3720 QM processor with 24 GB of memory.
I am getting the following error:
"This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU"
I searched a bit and found out that it could be because the virtualization is usually disabled in the BIOS. I enabled it and cold booted the system.
I am getting the same error.
Could someone please help?
Thank you
Ravi
