The following reply was made to PR kern/186051; it has been noted by GNATS. From: John Baldwin <jhb@freebsd.org> To: bug-followup@freebsd.org, freebsd@stratum16.com Cc: Subject: Re: kern/186051: [vmware] [panic] FreeBSD 8.4+, 9.x+, 10.0 guest panic with VMWare Server on boot Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2014 14:37:41 -0400 It appears to be crashing because VMWare is raising a privileged instruction trap in the OS when it invokes 'hlt'. That seems like a bug in VMWare. There isn't a way to disable 'hlt' from the loader prompt unfortunately. Can you show the output of 'sysctl machdep.idle' under your working kernel? -- John Baldwin
