Hi all!
I am running FreeBSD-4.4-stable on my k7-700mgz. When I was running
4.4-prerelease I instaled vmware2. In the beggining of the instalation I
answared "yes" to the question of if I want to use netgraph bridging.
I also associate the device /dev/fxp0 to this. Later I instaled win98 and
every configuration just (full screen, sound, network, samba...) went fine!!
But I had a probleam that was nothing to do with vmware and I had to
reinstall the hole system! I reisntaled with FreeBSD-4.3-release and upgrade
imediatly to FreeBSD-4.4-stable (a week ago). Now I installed again vmware2
and did everythig just like the other time. But I am only able to boot vmware if the Ethernet adapter section has the "value" NOT INSTALLED.
- If I try to configure it in the vmware configuration editor to "host only", vmware dont even boot. It says:
"could not get adress for /dev/vmnet1: invalid argument, failed to configure
ethernet0"
- If I try to configure it in the vmware configuration editor to "bridged",
vmware also dont boot. It says:
"could not open /dev/vmnet0: no such file or directory, failed to configure
ethernet0"
- If I try to configure it in the vmware configuration editor to "custom" with /dev/vmnet1, vmware also dont boot. It says:
"could not get adress for /dev/vmnet1: invalid argument, failed to configure
ethernet0"
Also something strange appens in the end of freebsd booting process:
It say the following:
ngctl: send msg: No such file or directory
ngctl: send msg: No such file or directory
ngctl: send msg: No such file or directory
ngctl: send msg: No such file or directory
I think it is related to the vmware.sh scprit that is in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
I think I tried everything that my head can think!
(I also read the tutorial from freebsdenzine and that does not work for
me either)
Can anyone tell me something about this, please?
Thanks,
daniel
