Dear All,
We have a rather beafy server here and we're experimenting with putting a
number of vmware sessions on it. To avoid Windows and Linux becoming the
only OS'es here in the lab I've volunteered to help out and install FreeBSD.
:)
I have tried installing on a few configurations; SCSI and IDE, with and
without LAN.
First: FreeBSD gets a SCSI disk and LAN. The bt0 driver picks up on the disk
and proceeds to panic the vmware environment. The main error message is:
VMWare GSX Server Panic BUG F(562): 1703 bugnr=4935.
Second: FreeBSD gets an IDE disk and LAN. The FreeBSD kernel panics right
after detecting the keyboard. The panic is (typed from screen):
Fatal trap 12: page fault in vm86 mode
fault vir. addr. = 0x1000
code = user read, page not present
instr. ptr. = 0x0:0xa03
stack ptr = 0x0:0xffe
frame ptr = 0x0:0x0
code seg. = base 0x0, lim 0x0, type 0x0
dpl 0, pres 0, def32 0, gran 0
cpu efl = interrupt enabled, vm86, iopl=0
currproc = 0 (swapper)
int mask = net tty bio cam
trap = 12
The same panic occurs when I boot up without LAN.
This was using FreeBSD version 4.4 from the (ATAPI) cdrom.
Detailed logs are available on request and I'm willing to try any
experiments you may suggest. Anyone have any suggestions as to what I could
try?
