I tried following these directions. All the patches applied, everything compiled OK, and I was able to reboot fine. But once I was up, vmware2 wasn't working quite right (not even a single copy of it, never mind two). It seemed to be some kind of trouble with the guest OS trying to get to the network. I backed out the change to the vmware port, rebooted, and tried again. Same problem. I backed out the change to if_tap.c and if_tapvar.h, recompiled the kernel (only needed to do a 'cd /usr/src ; make kernel', not a full buildworld), rebooted, and at least a single vmware2 session was working OK. I realize this isn't much of a bug report, but either something is missing or what's there isn't quite right. (note that I was working on a 4.4-STABLE as of Nov 20th, but none of the relevant files seemed to have changed between the 18th and the 20th). Was there anything else I was supposed to do? Changes to the vmware2 startup script, or making some alternate devices, or something? My vmware2 port is also version 2.0.4-1142, so that should also match what your patches were expecting. I am running on a dual-processor Pentium-III machine, if that's significant. >If not and if everyone is happy with these patches, how can we get >this back into the port? I would really love to see these patches debugged and installed. I am trying to debug something between a Win2K system and samba running on a Linux system, and it would be mighty convenient if I could have both linux and Win2K virtual machines running! -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
