Hi everyone,

we can't get Elasticsearch (1.3.4 at the moment) to start up on an MS  
Server 2008 RC2 that is virtualized by VMWare. It was installed by using  
the service.bat file.  
In the elasticsearch.log in debug mode we don't see the message were it  
prints wich ports it has bound to.  
see [https://gist.github.com/christianuhlcc/310600d1a1984d5a850c](https://gist.github.com/christianuhlcc/310600d1a1984d5a850c)

After startup we made a threaddump that suggests Elasticsearch is hanging  
in a native method at  
org.hyperic.sigar.Sigar.getFileSystemListNative(Native Method), see:

> <https://gist.github.com/christianuhlcc/981cda74d3ae914939b7>

We use the HotSpot JVM 1.8.0\_20-b26, the configuration is all-default.

Does anyone haven an idea where to start looking? Same setup starts up on  
other Windows machines I could find here.

best regards,  
Christian
