>Originator:     Hellmuth Michaelis
>Release:        FreeBSD 6.2
>Organization:
secion GmbH, Hamburg, Germany
>Environment:
        running Win XP Pro in vmware3 port on FreeBSD 6.2(-STABLE)

>Description:
        Since upgrading from FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE (as of Nov, 8, 2006)
        to FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE 
        /usr/ports/emulators/vmware3 does not run anymore.
        The symptom is that running Windows XP Pro inside
        vmware3 produces the message:

        VMware Workstation Unrecoverable error: (VMX)
        NOT_IMPLEMENTED F(717):1423

        shortly after the initial (black) XP start screen 
        appears. This is reproducible.

        A similar report exists in http://docs.FreeBSD.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20070311020841.U34774
        As described in this report, disabling the
        network made vmware run again, enabling
        networking crashed it.

        I updated world, kernel, ports, same effect.

        When going back to the old 6.2-PRERELEASE kernel
        (same userland, ports etc) the vmware port runs again.

>How-To-Repeat:

        Run WXPPro in the vmware3 port under 6.2-STABLE.

>Fix:
        None yet.

>Release-Note:
>Audit-Trail:
