Hi,
it's only a few days away from 5.3-R so I thought I might remind you to
commit the patches to get VMware2 to work again. See enclosed email
detailing the technical points.
I have those fixes in use on my system day to day with no negative
by-effect.

Regards,
Georg.

Subject: [5.3-BETA3] VMWare2 problems, with PATCH
Date: Sat, 11 Sep 2004 23:52:25 +0200
Hi,
trying to get VMWare2 to run on 5.3-BETA3, I noticed two problems:
a) It doesn't compile. You have to apply the patch from
ports/68202
b) Then it fails when trying to load the kernel module due to an
undefined external kmem_alloc_pageable(). I have replaced the
calls with kmem_alloc_nofault() as suggested in a different
posting about VMWare3.
Could you please commit the patches from ports/68202 and the fix for b)
above, which I'm enclosing.

Thanks,
Georg.
