System: FreeBSD mad.ieo-research.it 5.1-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT #2: Wed Nov 12 00:27:27 CET 2003 nextie@mad.ieo-research.it:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/MAD i386

>Description:
  VMware3 does not build on -CURRENT because of removal of some machine
  dependant headers and changes to the SMP code in the kernel.

>How-To-Repeat:
  make in the vmware3 port directory with a fresh -CURRENT

>Fix:
  Patches are ready for the headers issue and the software runs 
  smoothly on -CURRENT on a UP system. SMP support is not working.
  Patch for fixing the first issue is at
  http://bag.ieo-research.it/~nextie/vmware3/
  SMP support is broken until further updates.
  Since I am not a committer I can't commit the patch. Thanks!
