Should there be one? OK - there was something wrong with the cpu- and meminfo files that I had grabbed from a Linux box. Running the fakeprocfs script did it - the machine powered on! Now there's another problem - virtual disks aren't working properly. vmware dumps core after displaying the following message: "VMware PANIC: Slave process died" The log file says: > ... junk skipped ... > Dec 05 23:26:32: Created the /tmp/ram0 temporary file. > Dec 05 23:26:32: Msg_Hint hint.hostlinux.rtcopen (not shown) > Dec 05 23:26:33: MHZEstimate 333 > Dec 05 23:26:33: Msg_Hint hint.cpuid.AMDK6 (not shown) > Dec 05 23:26:33: Forking AIO Floppy pid=2176 sharedArea=0x2a63b000 size=0xa000 > Dec 05 23:26:33: Forking AIO IDE0:0 pid=2177 sharedArea=0x2a64d000 size=0x1000 > Dec 05 23:26:33: DISK: OPEN IDE 0:0 /usr/local/vmware/solaris persistent > Dec 05 23:26:33: Virtual disk /usr/local/vmware/solaris is checkcapable and consistent > Dec 05 23:26:33: DISK: ROOT COWDisk /usr/local/vmware/solaris (866/15/63) > Dec 05 23:26:33: COWSanity_Alloc 99 KB > Dec 05 23:27:04: Slave process died > Dec 05 23:27:04: Msg_Post Error: msg.log.panic > VMware PANIC: > > Slave process died > > Dec 05 23:27:12: > > MainPowerOff-- Shutting down devices > Dec 05 23:27:12: AIOPowerOff IDE0:0 > Dec 05 23:27:12: AIOPowerOff Floppy > Dec 05 23:27:12: Slave Floppy exits > Dec 05 23:27:12: MainPowerOff-- Shutdown complete > Dec 05 23:27:12: Clean exit. Disabling IDE 0:0 seems to help, but what good is a virtual machine without a hard drive? Vladimir's page says that raw devices are supported, but I refuse to give it a real device. I tried faking a raw device with vnconfig, but vmware didn't like it (although the configuration editor let me edit the faked device). This is with Soren's ata driver - I haven't tried the old one (yet). Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
