Is that the port you have? This seems to fix up a few things for me, though right now it's telling me I have to update the bios on my motherboard to avoid some errors. (in my case, I have a dual-Coppermine-P3). If you select "About VMware Workstation" under the "Help" menu of vmware, what version number does it report? The interesting thing about this port, compared to the previous one that I had, is that the startup script seems to know the difference between UP and SMP systems. > This happens on only one of our machines, and it is the > only smp I've tried.

For what it's worth, my previous hardware was a dual-CPU 200-MHz Pentium Pro. I also always got that warning (I was running vmware with linux as the host OS), and it never caused a problem. It WAS a bit on the slow side, which is why I bought the new machine, but it worked fine... --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
