Hi

I have some difficult to use vmware port on FreeBSD.

First, i was on FreeBSD 4.8 and vmware2 work...
But all guest os crash cause of SIMD function [Athlon XP processor] (and i
have not found any solution on the net... Just people who have the same
problem).

So, i decided to upgrade to FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE-p7 and i try vmware3.2 ...
But (although i have successfully applied kernels patchs) when
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/vmware.sh try to load vmmon.ko my system panic... And a
friend have the same problem!

When we load vmmon.ko we get this message (seems to be report by devfs
driver):
-----------------
WARNING: Driver mistake: repeat make_dev("console")
Panic: don't do that

{and a lot of things due to panic :-(}
-----------------

I have tried to load vmnet module and there is no problem ...


All versions:
* ports : up-to-date at 15/5/03 vmware3-3.2.1-2237_1
* vmmon included : vmmon-freebsd-0.98.tar.gz on
vmmon-only-3.2.1-20030514.tar.gz
* vmnet included : vmnet-freebsd-0.21.tar.gz on
vmnet-only-3.2.1-20030412.tar.gz

.... Please help .... !!
