When I try to run my vmdk file, I get a syntax error line 1 and no boot happening. Is there something I am missing here?

As far as I can figure out there's a better chance of getting it to run in VM Fusion than WM Player. Although it's by far the easiest to get the image to run in VirtualBox. Just start a new Virtual Machine and mount the image and BOOM you're in.

This is the most stupid thing since Microsoft forced all computer manufacturers to include Windows with their computers.
Not even Microsoft would think of the idea to force all users to create a hotmail account to log on to Windows.

Come on, the user accounts should be created at the first time the OS is booted, and not be hardcoded to some crappy gmail account.
I gave up testing Chrome OS since I don't have a gmail account.

Anyway, the vmware image boots and seams to be working with VMWare Fusion 3 on the Mac. I suppose the image file was created on a Mac, since VMWare Player user's appears to have problems using the image.

Um no, you just don't get it.

I think it makes perfect sense. Realize that this is an early release and the they will have some sort of account creation capability when appliances come with chrome OS installed.

You can create the VMX file with the VMXBuilder application. You can download it from the link below.

http://vmxbuilder.com/vmx-builder/

I was having the same problem but I was able to make it launch after creating the VMX file (Don't forget to add the VMDK as the hard drive)...

I am having problems now that it won't connect to the internet so I can't log in...sucks!

instead of converting I created a new virtual disk without the install disk. Then I renamed the chrome vmdk file to the name of the new virtual disk's name. started the v-machine with no problems.

Excellent link from Ksnatikar earlier - gives code for the .vmx file - works great.
