Reproducible. If I disable superpages with vm.pmap.pg_ps_enabled option FreeBSD guest will not be able to crash the host system. Trying to figure out of this bug in VMware or a problem with my hardware. Host machine was up for 30 days without crashing prior to trying out 8.0. Has anyone else had problems with superpages implementation in FreeBSD crashing VMware ESXi 3.5? Seems like a bug in VMware and I'd like to report .. -Peter
