I've narrowed it down to either vmware or linux emuluation. I disable the cdrom support in vmware at boot, normally. It still reboots right as I should get the vmware phoenix bios screen. This is on a 4.5-RC system with a cvsup as of Sun Jan 27 before 10 am. I've also had problems with the system freezing under heavy network traffic through my dc0 nic. I'm doing about 75mb/s in nfs traffic at the time it locks up. However, I believe it to be due to dc0 be put into promiscuous mode by the vmnet module. I can't recreate these lockups with the vmware modules not loaded. I'm making the assumption it's the vmmon that's doing the promiscuous based on these boot messages: /dev/vmmon: Module vmmon: registered with major=3D200 minor=3D0 tag=3D$Name: build-570 $ /dev/vmmon: Module vmmon: initialized dc0: promiscuous mode enabled vmnet1: promiscuous mode enabled --=20 | Andy | e-mail | web | gpg/pgp keyid | | | andy@lewman.com | www.lewman.com | ED788962 | You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on. -- Dean Martin --EeQfGwPcQSOJBaQU Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8Vgfoof7Zie14iWIRAnkGAJ9lc+uF1hsdLEGnYHrFFJQ2FiiUPQCfaj+h Nd7GowU3SEYJBc+OH8z8pBM= =7yXn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --EeQfGwPcQSOJBaQU-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
