greetings i've searched the 'emulators' archive but not found anything lately as far as bugs etc with vmware2 port. i've got it installed and loading fine, but it will lock (temporarily) upon hitting "Power On". After ~60 seconds (of sitting there locked) it will eventually kill itself (die) with no real error. didn't know if there were any known bugs, etc, especially with linprocfs?? also, i'm running an SMP kernel; perhaps issues there? i've read about vladimir's vmware patches etc, but those seem dated. Are they valid anymore? they won't even build 'as-is' since the ports format has changed since mid-year 2000. i've posted to questions with little luck, thought perhaps a more focus'd list would be approriate. its just that everything looks in order to me, and i had NO trouble installing/running it on another system, also a 4.2-STABLE, but only a single proc system... worked first crack out of the box. friends also have reported great success with the vmware2 port on their systems (all have been uniprocessor) i tried running 'truss vmware' to try n get more info, but it locked my entire system up, and i had to reboot. gonna see if maybe i can ktrace it or something.. maybe get a better idea of "what" is happening exactly thanks all!
