Subject:   [5.3-BETA3] VMWare2 problems, with PATCH
Message-ID:  <1094939545.2033.6.camel@localhost.muc.eu.mscsoftware.com>

Hi,

trying to get VMWare2 to run on 5.3-BETA3, I noticed two problems:

        a) It doesn't compile.  You have to apply the patch from
        ports/68202
        
        b) Then it fails when trying to load the kernel module due to an
        undefined external kmem_alloc_pageable().  I have replaced the
        calls with kmem_alloc_nofault() as suggested in a different
        posting about VMWare3.

Could you please commit the patches from ports/68202 and the fix for b)
above, which I'm enclosing.

Thanks,
Georg.
