Hello,


I am running 4.1-STABLE from around August 31. 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. 

JF
