Hi Sudip,
I was building and booting kernel on VMware Player. My guest OS is Ubuntu 12.04 with 3.5.0-48-generic. I tried to boot on both Linux and Windows host with Ubuntu guest and both fails to boot the newly built kernel.
Then I tried to boot on real hardware and linux-next boots up without any issue.
I still had a question that is this a common when kernel do not boot up on VM? I like to prefer VM because I have only one PC and it sounds risky to install new kernel everyday.
And thanks for the response.
Sunil Shahu.

I am regularly working with linux-next, and i am using ubuntu 13.04 ,
14.04. I never had to use any patch to boot it. also tested on 10.04.
what error message you got?
