Hello,

I realize this report is SORELY lacking in details, but I'm at work right now
and don't have my dev machine in front of me. I just wanted to throw these
syslog messages out to people in hopes that it triggers somebody's memory. I
will most certain provide my kernel config and every step I'm doing in a later
mail once I get home ....

I recently upgraded to 4.1-RC (from 3.x-STABLE) primarily in order to run
VMware. So, I finally downloaded it, got a temp license and began to play
around after RTFM'ing as much as I could.

I was trying to use an existing partition win98 partition on ad0 (which I'd
already setup with its own "vmware" hardware profile with nothing "fancy"
installed--just plain jane win98 installation). As I wen through the
configuration wizard, things seemed to make sense. I saved everything then
clicked on the "power on" button and vmware immediate core-dumped and gave me
this: 

Jul 23 16:54:11 whale /WHALE: /dev/vmmon: ALLOW_CORE_DUMP called
Jul 23 16:54:12 whale /WHALE: /dev/vmmon: ALLOW_CORE_DUMP called
Jul 23 16:54:12 whale /WHALE: pid 72293 (vmware), uid 0: exited on signal 6 (core dumped)
Jul 23 16:54:12 whale /WHALE: /dev/vmmon: Vmx86_DestroyVM: unlocked pages: 0, unlocked dirty pages: 0

Does this ring a bell to anybody?

I am using an asus P2B-DS with two Pentium III 500 Mhz processors. All disks
except ad0 (which I'm trying to use for vmware and dual-boot) are on the scsi
controllers. I have loaded linprocfs (obvious or I wouldn't have gotten this
far). I've done a clean install using the supported
"buildkernel/installkernel" interface with zero problems.

I messed around with some more configurations and chose one that used a
virtual disk. AT this point I could get my win98 bootup disk to almost boot
(went almost the whole way through then it seemed to "hang" ...).

Searching the archives didn't come up with anything "meaty."

Thanks,

-Jr
