Greetings. I'm trying to run vmware2 on a box but just get the following at the command line: yamato::macedo[110]: vmware <vmware starts and I'm able to configure a virtual machine> <I want to use my original Windows partition as guest OS, so I set /dev/hda as disk and R/W access for it on the correspondent windows> <VMware goes to the "power on" screen. When I click "Power on" I get the crash> Abort trap yamato::macedo[111]: In the /var/log/messages: Nov 26 17:23:11 yamato /kernel: /dev/vmmon: ALLOW_CORE_DUMP called Nov 26 17:23:11 yamato /kernel: /dev/vmmon: ALLOW_CORE_DUMP called Nov 26 17:23:11 yamato /kernel: pid 6929 (vmware), uid 1000: exited on signal 6 Nov 26 17:23:11 yamato /kernel: /dev/vmmon: Vmx86_DestroyVM: unlocked pages: 0, unlocked dirty pages: 0 I believe the problem is in the physical disk handling functions because if I set it up to use a virtual disk, I'm at least able to boot the virtual machine with a W95 floppy. However, the floppy doesn't finish the boot. It gets frozen just after the Windows copyright message.... Here are some data about my box and the vmware port I'm using: Physical Mem: 96Mb Hard Disk: IDE 4Gb OS & ports: 4.1-RELEASE linux_base-6.1 rtc-2000-05-05 vmware2-2.0.1.570 vmmon-freebsd-0.95.1.tar.gz vmnet-freebsd-0.11.tar.gz I found some messages reporting flawless installing and running under 4.1-STABLE and 4.2-BETA... Would my only option to upgrade my system? Or was anyone else able to run vmware2 on 4.1-RELEASE? Thanks in advance for any advice. -- TMP Consultoria Sergio Macedo TEL (21) 556-3791 <macedo@tmp.com.br> FAX (21) 556-4398 - "Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good."
