How to solve “Booting SMP configuration” on VMware?
Some customers running VMWare in a machine with Intel Xeon CPUs hangs when having more than VCPu showing “Booting SMP configuration” in the console.
This error is related to VMWare failing to apply an intel microcode update according to this forum thread. We recommend the following workaround to this error:
1. Set the number of vCPU in the VMWare settings as 1. For helping on this topic, consult the VMWare documentation.
2. Start the virtual machine and run the following commands:
sudo dpkg -l|grep intel
sudo apt-get purge intel-microcode
sudo update-grub
sudo shutdown -h now
3. After this procedure you can adjust the number of vCPU as needed. For guidance on allocating resources, consult our Sizing Guidelines.
