I am running vmware3 without issue under both a patched 4.9-RELEASE and 5.2.1-RELEASE. You have not mentioned two items which are needed for it to work properly so I'll ask about them: Have you set sysctl kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed 1 ? Have you either done a kldload aio ? I've got that second compiled into my kernel with a line like this: options VFS_AIO #Needed for vmware3 I noticed your kernel config doesn't have this line. The sysctl is set in /etc/sysctl.conf at boot for me. Are you missing either or both of the above? That could be your problem... Sean
