VMware does not support smp. So you need to start it in safe mode, install, first boot, start in safe mode, recompile your kernel WITHOUT smp and apic. Then it will work like a charm :) Nick -----Original Message----- From: owner- [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of jeff.king@convergys.com Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2004 12:24 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: freebsd 5.2 running as vmware client broken?
