I personally don't have experience with new AMD's processors. Try to update BIOS on motherboard to latest one, and try to compile kernel without k6_mem.c file (just change it to dummy one with zero length). If you have another computer nearby, please use or external XServer or configure you FreeBSD box to use serial console. Purpose of that to know what exactly panic occurred (because when you are starting vmware, most likely , panic occurred, and it showing some information on your console, but you not able to seen that information, because you are in graphic mode). -- Regards, Vladimir To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
