The following reply was made to PR ports/76644; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Brandon Hume <hume@cs.dal.ca> To: czcc@163.com, freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: ports/76644: FreeBSD 5.3 will freeze or crash when run vmware on i386 platform with P4 1.7G CPU and ATI Video Card Date: Fri, 08 Apr 2005 13:16:43 -0300 I've been experiencing the same symptoms as those described here, with ATA_IDENTIFY timeouts, WRITE timeouts, and so on. However, VMWare *USED* to work fine. My problems started after a ports-related disaster and system reinstall. I believe I started at 5.3-RELEASE-p0 or -p1, then CVSup'd to 5.4-PRERELEASE; I had problems with ports and reverted to 5.3 with a full reinstall. When I put VMWare back, it started killing the machine on PowerOn. Like the original submitter, I've tried disabling ACPI, as mentioned in pkg-message; it made no difference. I've made no changes between my working kernel-conf and non-working kernel conf (although I've since made changes trying to treat this problem and another unrelated X lockup problem...) --- KERNEL CONFIG --- machine i386 cpu I686_CPU ident SHUMIRA makeoptions DEBUG=-g # Build kernel with gdb(1) debug symbols options SCHED_4BSD # 4BSD scheduler options INET # InterNETworking options INET6 # IPv6 communications protocols options FFS # Berkeley Fast Filesystem options SOFTUPDATES # Enable FFS soft updates support options UFS_ACL # Support for access control lists options UFS_DIRHASH # Improve performance on big directories options MD_ROOT # MD is a potential root device options NFSCLIENT # Network Filesystem Client options NFSSERVER # Network Filesystem Server options NFS_ROOT # NFS usable as /, requires NFSCLIENT options MSDOSFS # MSDOS Filesystem options CD9660 # ISO 9660 Filesystem options PROCFS # Process filesystem (requires PSEUDOFS) options PSEUDOFS # Pseudo-filesystem framework options GEOM_GPT # GUID Partition Tables. options COMPAT_43 # Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!] options COMPAT_FREEBSD4 # Compatible with FreeBSD4 options SCSI_DELAY=15000 # Delay (in ms) before probing SCSI options KTRACE # ktrace(1) support options SYSVSHM # SYSV-style shared memory options SYSVMSG # SYSV-style message queues options SYSVSEM # SYSV-style semaphores options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING # Posix P1003_1B real-time extensions options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV # install a CDEV entry in /dev options ADAPTIVE_GIANT # Giant mutex is adaptive. # Debugging for use in -current options KDB options DDB #Enable the kernel debugger device apic # I/O APIC device isa device eisa device pci # Floppy drives device fdc # ATA and ATAPI devices device ata device atadisk # ATA disk drives device ataraid # ATA RAID drives device atapicd # ATAPI CDROM drives device atapifd # ATAPI floppy drives device atapist # ATAPI tape drives device atapicam # SCSI emulation, needs scbus & pass options ATA_STATIC_ID #Static device numbering # SCSI peripherals device scbus # SCSI code device da # SCSI disk devices device cd # CD device pass # SCSI passthrough # atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse device atkbdc # AT keyboard controller device atkbd # AT keyboard device vga # VGA video card driver device splash # Splash screen and screen saver support # syscons is the default console driver, resembling an SCO console device sc device agp # support several AGP chipsets # Floating point support - do not disable. device npx device pmtimer # Serial (COM) ports device sio # 8250, 16[45]50 based serial ports # Parallel port device ppc device ppbus # Parallel port bus (required) device lpt # Printer device ppi # Parallel port interface device # PCI Ethernet NICs that use the common MII bus controller code. # NOTE: Be sure to keep the 'device miibus' line in order to use these NICs! device miibus # MII bus support device fxp # Intel EtherExpress PRO/100B (82557, 82558) # Pseudo devices. device loop # Network loopback device mem # Memory and kernel memory devices device io # I/O device device random # Entropy device device ether # Ethernet support device sl # Kernel SLIP device ppp # Kernel PPP device tun # Packet tunnel. device pty # Pseudo-ttys (telnet etc) device md # Memory "disks" device gif # IPv6 and IPv4 tunneling device faith # IPv6-to-IPv4 relaying (translation) device bpf # Berkeley packet filter device uhci # UHCI PCI->USB interface device ohci # OHCI PCI->USB interface device usb # USB Bus (required) #device udbp # USB Double Bulk Pipe devices device ugen # Generic device uhid # "Human Interface Devices" device ukbd # Keyboard device ulpt # Printer device umass # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da device ums # Mouse
