Hi!

I'm setting up vmware for a handful machines, and one of them
is a dual processor motherboard  (SMP). vmware fails to start
the emulation whtih the following error:

-------------------------------------------
*** VMware internal monitor error ***

PANIC F(171):242

Please report this problem via the ``File an Incident'' link
at http://www.vmware.com/support.

Please make sure you attach the log file
(/usr/opt/vmware/tb-winnt/vmware-log.kudo)
and the core file (vmware-core)
from the current directory (/usr/opt/vmware/tb-winnt).

If the problem is repeatable, please set the logging level
to `Debug' in the Misc panel.  Then reproduce the incident
and file it according to instructions.

We appreciate your feedback        -- the VMware team

MainPowerOff-- Shutting down devices
------------------------------------------

Has anybody seen this? Everything seems to work fine. When
powering up, vmware detects mouse and stuff, but then fails
with a core dump. Is this an emulation problem, or shall I
report it to vmware?

FreeBSD-4.0-STABLE (fresh from last wednesday), SMP kernel,
freshly cvs-ed port.  The linux emulation stuff is nfs-mounted.

I use the linuxprocfs unofficial port from Dec 1999
(http://www.mindspring.com/~vsilyaev/vmware/files/linuxproc-12-27-99.tar.gz).
I did try adding linprocfs to /usr/src/sys/modules/Makefile's
SUBDIRS variable and rebuilding the entire world, but then
kldload fails with the infamous "Exec format error" (odd, since
I didn't change any sources apart from the mentioned Makefile,
but I track STABLE, and linprocfs isn't supported there...).

I see some very recent changes on
http://www.mindspring.com/~vsilyaev/vmware/files/, and I will
try them, but I am still interested in hearing success stories
or problems with vmware and SMP. 

For what it is worth, here is vmware's log file:
