I've loaded the kernel modules and Linux procfs: # kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 12 0xc0400000 5dde24 kernel 2 1 0xc09de000 47e4 if_tap.ko 3 1 0xc09e3000 d164 kqemu.ko 4 14 0xc09f1000 56270 acpi.ko 5 5 0xc1484000 17000 linux.ko 6 1 0xc14dd000 8000 vmmon_up.ko 7 1 0xc14e5000 2000 vmnet.ko 8 1 0xc1504000 2000 rtc.ko # kldunload acpi.ko # kldload aio.ko # mount_linprocfs linprocfs /compat/linux/proc # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/001.vmware.sh start # uname -a FreeBSD almare.Sisis.de 5.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #0: Sun May 8 10:21:06 UTC 2005 root@harlow.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Then I can launch 'vmware', create a config of some VM but on power-on it panic's the VMware with: $ vmware Setting TMPDIR=/var/tmp. VMware PANIC: (ide0:0) NOT_IMPLEMENTED F(831):712 VMware PANIC: (VMX) AIO: NOT_IMPLEMENTED F(831):712 I googled a little bit around and found some hints about running a tool from vmware-any-any-update93.tar.gz but this later only paniced the FreeBSD kernel. Do I miss something? The goal is that I want to switch over from SuSE 8.1 to FreeBSD and if possible copy over as well my VWware disks from the old installation to VMware on FreeBSD. Will this work? matthias -- Matthias Apitz / Sisis Informationssysteme GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g / D-82041 Oberhaching Fon: ++49 89 / 61308-351, Fax: -399, Mobile ++49 170 4527211 http://www.sisis.de/~guru/
