Works ok when run as root. (I noticed vmware is suid root, so why this makes a difference I have no clue) Have aio loaded. Only way to get out is to do a kill -9. This also leaves something in an indertimate state, because you have to reboot to be able to run VMware3 again. (Something about a kernel structure being invalid) What information and how to collect it for your needs in assistance with this problem? >How-To-Repeat: Run VMware3 on 5.1-RELEASE >Fix: Unknown >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
