Hello, >I tried what you mentioned in VMWare (my version is 3.1) and still have >problems with it locking up - not in the same place, but same result (even >using SCSI). Well, let me tell what I did. First the virtual disk and the virtual CD-ROM are attached to the "virtual" SCSI bus. There's no IDE/ATA/ATAPI devices anywhere on this virtual system. According to the VMware 3.0 docs, you can't boot from such CD-ROM SCSI disks--at least in version 3, dunno in version 3.1. That means that I had to create the old trusty boot disquettes. And _that_ did the trick. No lockups, no nothing except FreeBSD 4.6 :) >You mentioned a "recent ATA" problem, but I don't understand >whether you are relating to FreeBSD 4.6 or VMWare... I meant the ATA/ATAPI subsystem in FreeBSD. Not even with the workarounds (hw.ata.... variables) I could boot/install from a IDE CDROM to an IDE hard drive (all inside VMware, of course). And I have a chicken & egg problem with Søren's recent commit--I don't have ATA/ATAPI anymore. Thus, for _me_, that's broken :( This NOT to say that VMware is flawless, but 4.[2,3,4,5]-RELEASE worked fine in VMware before :| Regards, Jon. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
