I installed the vmware2.0 port: PORTNAME= vmware2 PORTVERSION= 2.0.2.621 PORTREVISION= 1 I'm running win98 inside vmware. As soon as the guest is running, vmware takes 100 % cpu. I ktraced it and it loops on the follwing: 665 vmware CALL mincore(0xbfbff300,0) 665 vmware RET mincore 0 665 vmware CALL old.gethostid(0x13,0xbfbff28c,0,0,0xbfbff280) 665 vmware RET old.gethostid 0 665 vmware CALL ioctl(0xa,0xcb ,0xbfbff354) 665 vmware RET ioctl 312/0x138 665 vmware CALL ioctl(0xa,0xcb ,0xbfbff354) 665 vmware RET ioctl 312/0x138 665 vmware CALL ioctl(0xa,0xcb ,0xbfbff354) 665 vmware RET ioctl 311/0x137 665 vmware CALL mincore(0xbfbff300,0) 665 vmware RET mincore 0 665 vmware CALL old.gethostid(0x13,0xbfbff28c,0,0,0xbfbff280) 665 vmware RET old.gethostid 0 665 vmware CALL ioctl(0xa,0xcb ,0xbfbff354) 665 vmware RET ioctl 312/0x138 665 vmware CALL ioctl(0xa,0xcb ,0xbfbff354) 665 vmware RET ioctl 311/0x137 etc... If someone is interested by more, please ask... Descriptor 0xa is from the vmmon device (a few thousand lines before): 665 vmware CALL open(0x81cb06a,0x2,0) 665 vmware NAMI "/compat/linux/dev/vmmon" 665 vmware NAMI "/compat/linux" 665 vmware NAMI "/compat/linux/dev/vmmon" 665 vmware RET open 10/0xa In addition to loading the system, the app itself is very slow for repainting the screen etc... I tried to simplify the situation as much as possible by disconnecting networking and floppy, no change. I'd be glad if anybody had an idea for something to try. Please Cc me, I'm not on the list.
