Recently i bought vmware and installed it by using the port on a recent FreeBSD 4.2 stable. It worked nearly out of the box but i noticed the machine (which had 128 megs of ram) started swapping so i bought another 128 megs of ram. Since i installed them to get 256 megs i was not able to run vmware anymore, the machine just hangs. I'm able to move the X cursor with the mouse and i am able to switch virtual terminals (and break into DDB) but nothing more. Setting down the vmware memory to 64 megs did not solve the problem, but removing the 128 megs solved it. With 128 megs i'm again able to run vmware. This is strange .... I just scanned the mailing list archives and found Barry Lustig having reported nearly/exactly the same problem on 12/5/00. Has this been solved somehow in the meantime ? hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis Tel +49 40 55 97 47-70 HCS Hanseatischer Computerservice GmbH Fax +49 40 55 97 47-77 Oldesloer Strasse 97-99 Mail hm [at] hcs.de D-22457 Hamburg WWW http://www.hcs.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
