Please advise vmware newbie ... X-Mailer: VM 6.75 under Emacs 20.6.3 Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello, I realize this report is SORELY lacking in details, but I'm at work right now and don't have my dev machine in front of me. I just wanted to throw these syslog messages out to people in hopes that it triggers somebody's memory. I will most certain provide my kernel config and every step I'm doing in a later mail once I get home .... I recently upgraded to 4.1-RC (from 3.x-STABLE) primarily in order to run VMware. So, I finally downloaded it, got a temp license and began to play around after RTFM'ing as much as I could. I was trying to use an existing partition win98 partition on ad0 (which I'd already setup with its own "vmware" hardware profile with nothing "fancy" installed--just plain jane win98 installation). As I wen through the configuration wizard, things seemed to make sense. I saved everything then clicked on the "power on" button and vmware immediate core-dumped and gave me this: Jul 23 16:54:11 whale /WHALE: /dev/vmmon: ALLOW_CORE_DUMP called Jul 23 16:54:12 whale /WHALE: /dev/vmmon: ALLOW_CORE_DUMP called Jul 23 16:54:12 whale /WHALE: pid 72293 (vmware), uid 0: exited on signal 6 (core dumped) Jul 23 16:54:12 whale /WHALE: /dev/vmmon: Vmx86_DestroyVM: unlocked pages: 0, unlocked dirty pages: 0 Does this ring a bell to anybody? I am using an asus P2B-DS with two Pentium III 500 Mhz processors. All disks except ad0 (which I'm trying to use for vmware and dual-boot) are on the scsi controllers. I have loaded linprocfs (obvious or I wouldn't have gotten this far). I've done a clean install using the supported "buildkernel/installkernel" interface with zero problems. I messed around with some more configurations and chose one that used a virtual disk. AT this point I could get my win98 bootup disk to almost boot (went almost the whole way through then it seemed to "hang" ...). Searching the archives didn't come up with anything "meaty."

As part of the installation, libraries are extracted out of the self extracting executable, and then a setup.bin (linux executable) is run from that same directory. This doesn't work so well, because Linux ld doesn't check the current directory for new libraries (only /compat/linux/etc/ld.so.cache is used). Is this by design or is there be a way to have the Linux ld also look at the current directory for new libraries? Is there a way to specify in the /compat/linux/etc/ld.so.conf to also look in the current working directory? I tried "." and that didn't seem to do the trick. I ended up having to use the contorted scheme outlined below and it finally did install, but I don't think this method is appropriate for a ports entry.

Hi Rob, et. al: I figured out what the problem is and got Staroffice 5.2 to fully install under 4.0-RELEASE. The problem has to do with the libraries unpacked by the setup.bin (and part of f0000) not being reference to by /compat/linux/etc/ld.so.cache. My steps were: mkdir /compat/linux/tmp echo "/compat/linux/tmp/sv001.tmp" >> /compat/linux/etc/ld.so.conf echo "/usr/tmp/office52_temp" >> /compat/linux/etc/ld.so.conf run so-5.2* (97MB file of web site) install into /usr/tmp/office52_temp wait till error message kill installer window /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig rerun so-5.2* this time install into /usr/local/office52 rm -rf /usr/tmp/office52_temp Works great.. No hangups or freezes or crashes for a few days of trying various things, wordproc/spreadsheet mostly. Now, how on earth does one turn this mess into a "usable" ports entry? Is it a "bug" of the Linux emulation to not scan the current directory for shared libraries?

It's looks like old problem with raw devices. Under FreeBSD it's impossible to get real configuration of hard drive. And gueses about that not always right. In you situation it has a sense to read the file /usr/local/share/doc/vmware/Hints.FreeBSD and using not a raw device, but plain disk. Required numbers you could get from configuration file for raw device (and to do some work about substraction and addition on them).

I read through this and modified the .hda file accordingly: DRIVETYPE ide CYLINDERS 39560 HEADS 16 SECTORS 63 ACCESS "/disk1/vmware/win98/disk.mbr" 0 63 ACCESS "/dev/rad0s1" 63 15374204 RDONLY "/dev/null" 15374204 39873329 like the text suggests pulling the geometry out of dmesg info and the other config info from the slice editor in /stand/sysinstall for ad0. With this file in place, I was able to boot win98 from my existing hard drive. Windoze came up with the standard "searching for devices" bull crap and I just waded through that hitting cancel. I tried to install the VMware tools for win98. I followed all the procedures, but at the point where I was supposed to change video card drivers, I got stumped as the directions did not reflect reality as to what I was being presented. A JPEG screen capture of what I read and saw is at: http://members.home.com/jjreynold/vmware_dump.jpg As you can see, I've clicked on the "Advanced" button and Adapter tab. I really want to click the "Change..." button but it's grayed out! Something bizzare is going on here. As you can also see, the dialog box is titled "(unknown device) properties". Does anybody have any clues as to what's going on here with this install? Win98 was installed "bare bones" and immediately I made vmware its own hardware configuration which I'm using as I boot from /dev/ad0s1 within vmware. At this point, I'm basically screwed for video drivers that are better than 640x480 because I can't change anything. General observations / questions: o It is PAINFULLY slow. If I ever get the VMware tools installed will that help? I've got TWO Pentium III 500Mhz CPUs and 256Mb of RAM in this machine and the vmware window running win98 seems like when I used to run Windows NT on a 486DX4 with slow ISA video card.

First of all, run it in full-screen (DGA) mode, if your adapter supports it. This would speed things up immensely. Here I'm running WinNT on a Pentium III 600 with 256Mb of RAM, and no-one can tell the difference between VMWare and the real thing. Once our local NT sysadmin had to use my computer, and after 30 minutes he still didn't notice anything unusual -- LOL! In fact, access to the disk and CD-ROM seems to be much faster under FreeBSD-powered NT (TM), because FreeBSD knows how to enable UDMA66 on my drive and NT doesn't (at least not by default). > o In vain, I tried to access my CD-ROM which is a scsi device sitting on ahc0 > target 3.

VMWare creates a large file in /tmp (slightly larger than the amount of RAM you specified), which you can't see because it's unlink()ed. You could try symlinking /tmp to /var/tmp or another location that has more disk space, and see if the problem persists.

Hmmmm. No, I haven't tried safe mode. I was just thrilled it booted in general. Without setting up one of their contrived "boot menu things" under windows, the only way I can go into Safe mode is by booting, then "shutting down" into safe mode, correct (I certainly don't know 100% of the in's and out's of windows ... just enough to install it to make my wife happy :). > First of all, run it in full-screen (DGA) mode, if your adapter supports > it. This would speed things up immensely. Here I'm running WinNT on Hmmm. Well, when I installed VMware and brought it up initially it went into full screen mode and then back into window'ed mode. So, I know I've seen it do it but when I tried last night it told me it couldn't for whatever reason (I had not installed VMware tools yet of course). Not helpful I know, but I'm at work and don't have the dialog box to stare at.

I mean the .Hints file is helpful but some scenarios would be useful too. The vmware site's FAQ is approaching useless because in their linux-only world, they assume that so long as you have nice IDE hardware that you install their stuff and it all just magically works because it's Linux (probably true). If there isn't such a site for Vmware under FreeBSD, I'd be happy to collect words of wisdom, sample configurations, etc. and organize it some sort of fashion.

I did as you suggested a couple of weeks ago and instantly after I installed win98 on my new IDE drive, I created another H/W profile for it named "vmware" with NO fancy anything loaded, pure 640x480 VGA, etc. However, I didn't boot into "Safe Mode" to do it.

One of the readme or hints files talks about setting and exporting an environment variable so that vmware will use a different directory than /tmp for it's purposes. I created a simple shell which just sets that environment variable, and then starts the real vmware. At the very least, /var/tmp is MEANT to be different than /tmp, and thus I expect that you should not symlink the one to the other. It would probably be a good idea to change how vmware does this. Creating very large files in /tmp is not a good idea, given the default disklabel-configuration that freebsd uses. /tmp is in root (/) by default, and by default that is not a very large partition. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-emulation Wed Jul 26 9:39:36 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Received: from mail2.fiberspeed.net (mail2.fiberspeed.net [63.67.198.6]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 68DFD37BAA0 for ; Wed, 26 Jul 2000 09:39:30 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from steve@nhandtech.com) Received: from nevermore [24.162.96.204] by mail2.fiberspeed.net (SMTPD32-5.05) id A51F40700F8; Wed, 26 Jul 2000 12:43:11 -0400 From: "Steven Fusco" To: "Stan Brown" , "FreeBSD Emulation" Subject: RE: Help with Oracle 8 (Linux emulation) Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2000 11:40:36 -0500 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2911.0) In-Reply-To: <200007011434.HAA27278@netcom.com> X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6700 Importance: Normal Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I've had this problem myself and the way I fixed it was the binary under the staging area worked fine, but the binary that it re-linked under the installed area core dumped.

However once it reaches the point of trying to run svrmgrl to startup th db it fails. Jumping out to a shell I find that if I run svrmgrl, it core dumps. Backing up, I just isntalled the client side stuff, networking, and sqlpus. The installer scueded in doing this. However, when I try to run sqlplus, it also core dumps.

I've got an existing FBSD 4.0Rel/Nt4 multiboot setup that I'm trying to configure VMWare for. I've read the Hints.FreeBSD and I've scanned through a substantial part of the mailing list archives, and while I've got a glimmer of what is required--well-- I must be a dummy... Status: I've got vmware installed and a license installed, and it seems to be working, but I can't configure a working setup. I'm using vmware2-2.0.2.621. Questions: 1) When using the configuration wizard, I'm asked for a "Disk type setting". What am I supposed to do here for an *existing* NT partition? Remember, I'm a dummy, so give me simple, step-by-step instructions! ;-) a) What I did was select "existing physical disk". b) What I get is an error dialog saying "/dev/hdx -- not present". 2) I gather that there is a ".hda" file you may need to construct (even though nothing in Hints.FreeBSD says anything about a ".hda" file. Remember: I'm a dummy.) How do you create that file *before* you have a config? Or what do you do instead? Symlink? 3) I've seen all kinds of cryptic comments (at least cryptic to me; remember: I'm a dummy) about configuring things for max performance. Could someone list them out for me in painfully obvious plainness? 4) I see a recommendation to use /etc/fbtab to control access to devices, rather than being root. I log in using XDM started via /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/xdm.sh. a) What devices would a dummy want to use fbtab for? b) What device would a dummy use as the index when XDM is started this way?

I'm not a home right now so I'll have to e-mail my notes and experiences from home when I get back. Suffice to say I'm not done yet, but I have been able to boot win98 from my ad0 disk, so I think I can get you past the "raw disks are broken, use plain disks" thing. As an added bonus ...

First off, is the NT/BSD boot disk an IDE disk? I hope so. Even VMware themselves say booting a VM from scsi is at best experimental. I would seriously doubt it would work under FreeBSD, but maybe ..... What I did to get my setup working was elaborate on the setup from Hints.FreeBSD. Vladimir explained to me that under FreeBSD it's impossible (don't know the technical details) to get the right disk geometry from FreeBSD when vmware needs it. So, it crashes and burns. You can edit the .hda file like so: DRIVETYPE ide CYLINDERS 39560 HEADS 16 SECTORS 63 ACCESS "/path/to/setup/win98/disk.mbr" 0 62 ACCESS "/dev/rad0s1" 63 15374204 RDONLY "/dev/null" 15374205 39873329 As you can see, this differs slightly between what the Hints file says. As it points out you need the actual geometry which you can get from dmesg: grep ad0 /var/run/dmesg.boot ad0: 19470MB [39560/16/63] at ata0-master using UDMA3 The stuff in the [] is the c/h/s that vmware needs. Then create yourself a copy of the MBR like the Hints file says. This is where my setup differs from the hints file. My disk is bigger so I needed to get different numbers for slice 1 and the other slice (which contains my / partition for BSD as well as other random storage). I got these numbers by going into /stand/sysinstall into the partition editor for 'ad0'. Be careful not to change anything while in there :) Disk name: ad0 FDISK Partition Editor DISK Geometry: 2482 cyls/255 heads/63 sectors = 39873330 sectors Offset Size End Name PType Desc Subtype Flags 0 63 62 - 6 unused 0 63 15374142 15374204 ad0s1 2 fat 11 15374205 24499125 39873329 ad0s2 3 freebsd 165 C> 39873330 3150 39876479 - 6 unused 0 > I plugged "starting" and "ending" numbers for both slices into the example template from the Hints file. This is where I and the Hints file differ. The Hints file shows: ACCESS "/path/disk.mbr" 0 63 ACCESS "/dev/rad0s1" 63 4192902 RDONLY "/dev/null" 4192965 12305790 with the mbr and the first slice ending and starting at 63 respectively. It also starts the RDONLY slice boundaries at 4192092+63. I dunno why. The above values I used in my file haven't caused me any grief (at least thus far). Plus, VMware itself guessed at the raw partition sizes in my original .hda file like so: # Partition type: MBR RDONLY 0 62 # Partition type: Win95 FAT32 ACCESS 63 15374204 # Partition type: BSD/386 RDONLY 15374205 39873329 (so I guess the sysinstall step really wasn't necessary in retrospect but I figured since I KNEW that information would be correct why not try it?) After I modified my win98.hda file as above the VM would actually come up and VMware wouldn't segfault. The machine started booting from the mbr, I chose "F1" for 'DOS' and it began to work. The curious thing to me is that at least from my searching of the vmware site, this .hdN file format that we're using (in what the Hints file calls a "plain disk") isn't documented anywhere. Can anybody point to information on this? > 2) I gather that there is a ".hda" file you may need to constructBWithrow@BayNetworks.com (even > though nothing in Hints.FreeBSD says anything about a ".hda" file. Remember: > I'm a dummy.) How do you create that file *before* you have a config? > Or what do you do instead? Symlink? Well, I edited mine after vmware kept dumping core on me and Vladimir said "raw disks won't work--follow the Hints file and set things up like that for you IDE disk". I didn't edit the configuration after manually editing the .hda file, it just started working. > 3) I've seen all kinds of cryptic comments (at least cryptic to me; remember: > I'm a dummy) about configuring things for max performance. Could someone > list them out for me in painfully obvious plainness? Well, once I got the thing to actually boot win98 the performance REALLY sucked. This is because the VMware tools were not installed. Other people have said that running in full-screen mode is much much faster than windowed and I believe them (I'm working on that). You gotta have CRAPLOADS of ram and I'm glad I'm running an SMP system because it hogs 99% of one of my cpus all the time. However, once I went through the whole bloody process of successfully installing the vmware tools for win98 the graphics were much better even in window'ed mode. I can deal with it certainly until I debug why full-screen won't work for me. > 4) I see a recommendation to use /etc/fbtab to control access to devices, > rather than being root. I log in using XDM started via > /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/xdm.sh. > > a) What devices would a dummy want to use fbtab for? This was a key thing for me to figure out. I'd been running it as root (even though the Hints file said not too ... boooooo). I have this in my /etc/fbtab /dev/ttyv0 0600 /dev/console /dev/ttyv0 0640 /dev/rad0s1 /dev/ttyv0 0640 /dev/cd0c /dev/ttyv0 0640 /dev/cd1c (I've got two CD-ROMs and the console entry is so I can capture console messages with "xterm -C"). The permissions on these things was a pivotal thing for me to get correct because the CD-ROM kept not being identified by the VM and by win98 inside the VM until I did it. Also, the config editor wants /dev/cdrom by default so make the symlink accordingly :) > b) What device would a dummy use as the index when XDM is started this way? That I don't know .... If you get the POS to boot from your existing partition then proceed to install the VMware tools. I found the following URL to be VERY beneficial: http://www.vmware.com/support/reference/common/rawvideo98.html it's for win98, but I'm sure the procedure is roughly the same for NT. There were some inconsistencies in this doc which could be due to doc-rot as their product changes or the fact that I'm technically running Win98-SE which could do setups slightly differently. I also had to go into my "normal" hardware profile (booting win98 native) and delete the "VWware SVGA" device (installed after you install the VMware tools) twice ... whatever. Once you get the vmware tools installed then you can proceed to have NT detect hardware, install drivers, etc. Under my win98 install, I had to have it go through the whole bloody process before it would install a "Standard IDE controller" so that the atapi CD-ROM was detected (actually my scsi CD-ROM on the host ... NEAT!!!). Good luck. I hope to summarize my woes on some sort of web page--maybe contribute to the FreeBSD Diary or something .... -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= John Reynolds Chandler Capabilities Engineering, CDS, Intel Corporation jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com My opinions are mine, not Intel's.

Actually, late last night I actually flopped in the correct direction (probably accidentally). I'll note where your stuff differs from mine: :- First off, is the NT/BSD boot disk an IDE disk? I hope so. Even VMware :- themselves say booting a VM from scsi is at best experimental. I would :- seriously doubt it would work under FreeBSD, but maybe It's scsi, and it seems to work. :- You can edit the .hda file like so Turns out it can be a file of any name (even though .hda is a good choice). You simply refer to this file in the "fileName" line of your config file's disk configuration. For example: scsi0:0.fileName = "nt4.hba" :- you need the actual geometry which you can get from dmesg :- I got these numbers by going into /stand/sysinstall into the partition :- editor for 'ad0'. As others have suggested, it is probably easier to just use "fdisk". If you enter that command with no arguments you get a listing that gives you everything you need. For example: parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=1111 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) and The data for partition 1 is: sysid 7,(OS/2 HPFS, NTFS, QNX or Advanced UNIX) start 63, size 7164927 (3498 Meg), flag 0 :- I plugged "starting" and "ending" numbers for both slices into the :- example template from the Hints file. This is where I and the Hints :- file differ. Uhh.. As I understand it, the numbers are starting sector and *number of sectors* (not ending sector). This interpretation works for me and I've seen mail in this list that echoes it. :- VMware itself guessed at the raw partition sizes in my original .hda :- file Yeah. I saw that. But the numbers it put in the file disagreed with the numbers from "fdisk" so I went with the numbers from "fdisk". Anyone know why this is? Is the above interpretation incorrect? Two other things. 1) The Hints.FreeBSD file suggests that you should map out areas you don't want VMWare to touch with that "/dev/null" thing. I've found that you need only *avoid mapping* those sectors, and VMWare is happy to not touch them. In my case partition 1 is NT and 2 is FBSD. My config file has only the MBR and the NT partition mentioned. I discovered that this worked when I was looking at my setup in the Configuration Editor: It deleted the /dev/null line. My contention is that VMWare is happy with sparsely mapped drives. 2) VMWare does a "cd" to the config directory. Thus, if you place all the files in that directory, you can dispense with long paths. Anyway, I'll put my config files at the end. Now, for the fun stuff: I got NT to boot with all this, then immediately got the "blue screen of death". Turns out that I'm running a multiprocessor NT HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) and VMWare exports a uniprocessor HAL. NT gets is undies in a twist and refuses to play in this situation. This is covered on the VMWare support site, where the recommend that you only try to fix this if you are "very experienced" in NT whacking. I looked at the Microsoft support site and changing from a MP HAL to a uni HAL is definitely voodoo and chicken guts. No wonder it is "industry leading software". Phooey! Bottom line: I'd s**t-canning the NT stuff and installing Win2K in a virtual disk, like VMWare suggests.

Hmm. I thought /usr/tmp was already a symlink to /var/tmp, but apparently it isn't. That's interesting. (it is that symlink on other unix OS's that we have running here at RPI). I don't see a problem with that, but in general I would rather give vmware specific directions as to where to create it's large swapping-related files. In my case, for instance, I point those at a partition which is on a separate hard disk from the disks the virtual machine is otherwise using. (I guess that what I'm saying is that making /tmp a symlink to /usr/tmp may be a good idea in and of itself, but I wouldn't do that simply because of vmware's temp files. I'd rather move where vmware puts it's files, and then consider /tmp symlinks on their own merits.

Everything works wonderfully if I "power on" the virtual machine with a disc sitting in the CD-ROM. However, if the tray is empty then VMware comes back with a dialog box saying CDROM: Unable to open '/dev/cdrom' Device not configured Error connecting the CDROM device. (another dialog box) Device ide1:0 will start disconnected This smacks of the "troubles" one might have when installing from SCSI CD-ROM if you don't boot with a disc in the drive (sysinstall can't find the drive when you choose CDROM as the media type if there wasn't a disc in the drive during boot). Is this something we can work-around in our vmmon module or is this an unavoidable CAM thing? Do other people using SCSI CD-ROM's notice the same thing? For now, I will happily insert any ol' disc into the machine as I power up the VM, but just wondering how this can be fixed in software ultimately (or if it's just a "VMware thing + scsi" thing and we're stuck with it).

The VM boots the floopy and loads the CDROM driver, then tells me that COMMAND.COM is corrupted or can't be found. - I've tried this with two different floppies with identical results. - I've configured the floppy as directed in Hints.FreeBSD floppy0.fileType = "file" floppy0.present = TRUE floppy0.fileName = "/dev/rfd0" floppy0.startConnected = TRUE - I've also DD'd the contents of the floppy to a file and tried floppy0.fileName = "floppy.image" with the same results. - I've also tried configuring the floppy as a device.

Yes, it's pretty much the same problem -- sysinstall thinks the device isn't there if it can't open it.

There may be a way to do something different, but you'd have to look into the 'vmmon' module to figure it out. What is the vmmon module, anyway? Where is the source? (I don't know much about vmware.)

Well, we have to have the CD size and blocksize in order to complete the open call. (That information goes into the faked-up disklabel that allows the device to be mounted.) We can't get that information without a CD in the drive. (The SCSI READ CAPACITY command won't succeed without a CD in the drive.) > > There may be a way to do something different, but you'd have to look into > > the 'vmmon' module to figure it out. > > > > What is the vmmon module, anyway?

You'll probably need to find someone familiar with vmware to fix the problem.

Am I supposed to manually pass -DMODULE_DEPEND to the make? Or is there something else wrong here? Despite this, vmware does run, though it warns me that RTC is not loaded so my Win 98 timing will be off. My difficulty with vmware is that I, too, seem to be unable the get a working configuration. Is there some way that I am able to specify that my vmware disk should be ad0s1? (That is where my C: drive is located.) In the configuration editor I am unable to select any other option than "Virtual Disk"; from some of these messages, I take it "Raw Disk" is what I am looking for? Or is vmware able to run an existing partition at all? Am I going to have to reinstall Windows on the virtual disk? Oh yeah, it doesn't like my /dev/sysmouse either. Any help appreciated.

I can indeed run in SVGA mode (I ran it at 1024x768x24bpp this morning). What I can't do is talk to the underlying FreeBSD host over the network. I can ping the address defined for VMWare from FreeBSD, but not vice-versa. I suspect I've either set up natd incorrectly or something else, but I don't know what. I tried specifying "Bridge" for the ethernet device, and that didn't work, so I specified "Custom" and /dev/vmnet, which was detected when VMWare started, but still didn't work. I should note that I found that there was no /compat/linux/dev/vmnet, so I symlinked one from /dev/vmnet in order to be able to browse to it in VMWare's settings. That is obviously Not the Right Answer(tm). Anyway, there are some useful articles archived on http://lists.opensources.com/FreeBSD/freebsd-emulation/ that really got me going. One of the things I did was to make the following symlinks: /dev/ttyv0 -> /dev/tty0 /dev/ttyv1 -> /dev/tty1 /dev/ttyv2 -> /dev/tty2 /dev/ttyv3 -> /dev/tty3 /dev/ttyv4 -> /dev/tty4 /dev/ttyv8 -> /dev/tty7 <--- this is where my X server runs /dev/ttyv9 -> /dev/tty11 /dev/mouse -> /dev/sysmouse If you run your X server on a different virtual terminal than ttyv8, then you should symlink *that* terminal to /dev/tty7 instead. An error dialog pops up about /dev/sysmouse, but the mouse works anyway, so I ignored the error.

I did change the type of mouse from "auto" to PS/2 inside the configuration editor and it still complained. I tried everything I could think of--giving it the /dev/psm0 device, etc. but still no go. Then I modified my X setup to use /dev/sysmouse & SysMouse and ran moused. I set the type to "PS/2" mouse inside the configuration editor but didn't provide a device file. This worked! I was able to switch to full-screen mode. So, the question begs--is running moused (and hence using /dev/sysmouse for X) an absolute requirement for getting VMware to go into full-screen mode? It seems like it is ....

If /modules/if_tap.ko exists on your system, then you should use the next version of the port that Vladimir is going to release. :-) if_tap has a couple of small hacks in it that make vmware able to use it. I suspect (but won't speak for Vladimir) that vmnet gets rolled into vmmon since it consists only of some linux ioctl conversions with this step being taken. 2. After loading the module (either vmnet_bridge.ko or if_tap.ko) and making the /dev nodes, you must open the /dev node for the interface to be created. 'echo >/dev/vmnet1' is good enough. You will see ifconfig vmnet1 report the interface at that point. 3. After vmnet1 shows up, you must 'sysctl -w net.link.ether.bridge_refresh=1'. This informs the bridging code that there is a new interface. **WARNING** If you kldunload vmnet or if_tap, you must also IMMEDIATELY refresh the bridge to make sure that you don't panic your kernel (I suspect it won't be long before the bridge code is tied into ether_ifattach() and ether_ifdetach() to automate this). 4. ifconfig vmnet1 with the correct IP address (it doesn't actually matter in the grand scheme of things, but vmware checks, so it has to be right even if it is irrelevent). 5. Set up vmware to use host-only networking. It will be bridged anyway, but what it doesn't know won't hurt it. 6. Set up your vmware guest to use an IP address on the same network as your host, or have it be a DHCP client if that's appropriate. It will see the same LAN as the host. Note that if you tell your guest to be a DHCP client, you should set up a static MAC address in your vmware configuration. ethernet0.address = 00:50:56:1e:ad:bf will do it (make sure the number is unique and starts with 0:50:56:1_:). 7. sysctl -w net.link.ether.bridge=1. sysctl -a | grep bridge and make sure that bridge_cfg lists both your real Ethernet interface and vmnet1 in the same group. That should do it. Steps 2-4 are probably done automatically for you by the port's rc script, but if you're having trouble, it's best to make sure it's happening right.

It >seems like it is .... Looks like that. It's because /dev/psm0 it's just a character device, and it's impossible to open it [independently] several times (by the way it's why impossible under FreeBSD to have more than one guest at a time). But /dev/sysmouse it's tty, so it doesn't have such limitations. -- Vladimir To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
