infinite pending instances using eucalyptus on vmware-player

Ubuntu Server 10.04.1 LTS
4 GB, 200GB

Eucalyptus installed on single virtual server via vmware-player
I use my laptop to manage Eucalyptus, in which vmware-player is running UEC

I can upload images, but instances remain pending, then terminate

# /etc/eucalyptus/eucalyptus.conf

# These are the Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud's default Eucalyptus parameters.

# Affects: CC, NC
# See: **NOTE** below
VNET_MODE="SYSTEM" # per documents 'system' is for vmware

However, instances 'run' now, but 'shutdown' instantly

There are general issues with running all-in-one setup in 10.04.

Additionally, I suspect that eucalyptus-nc is not running or operating correctly as you wont' have kvm support in your vmware guest. At very least you will have to configure the NC to run with qemu (non-accelerated).

Also, the attached 'nc.log' shows:

I suggest that if you're interested in pursuing this you might want to look at http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2010/06/cloud-in-your-pocket-uec-liveiso.html

Thanks, Scott
This is just a demo for proposal.
I will use the cloud-in-your-pocket.
I thought VMWare on my i7 laptop would run kvm-ok, but I guess VMware doesn't like KVM.
