Will this work? AFAIK, you can only use your vmware disks with vmware version 3 if they have not been created or used by a newer major release of vmware! If you use now 4.x or 5.x you will probably not be able to use them, you may check the vmware documentation at the vendors site for more information. best wishes, Stefan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
5.4-RELEASE and VMWare 3.2.1 build-2242
Hi, I've compiled the VMware support in 5.4R from the ports collection /usr/ports/emulators/vmware3: PORTNAME= vmware3 PORTVERSION=3.2.1.2242 After installing and fixing a bug in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/001.vmware.sh where is a line networking= and later asked the variable with: if [ $networking -eq 1 ]; then I've loaded the kernel modules and Linux procfs: # kldstat Id Refs AddressSize Name 1 12 0xc040 5dde24 kernel 21 0xc09de000 47e4 if_tap.ko 31 0xc09e3000 d164 kqemu.ko 4 14 0xc09f1000 56270acpi.ko 55 0xc1484000 17000linux.ko 61 0xc14dd000 8000 vmmon_up.ko 71 0xc14e5000 2000 vmnet.ko 81 0xc1504000 2000 rtc.ko # kldunload acpi.ko # kldload aio.ko # mount_linprocfs linprocfs /compat/linux/proc # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/001.vmware.sh start # uname -a FreeBSD almare.Sisis.de 5.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #0: Sun May 8 10:21:06 UTC 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Then I can launch 'vmware', create a config of some VM but on power-on it panic's the VMware with: $ vmware Setting TMPDIR=/var/tmp. VMware PANIC: (ide0:0) NOT_IMPLEMENTED F(831):712 VMware PANIC: (VMX) AIO: NOT_IMPLEMENTED F(831):712 I googled a little bit around and found some hints about running a tool from vmware-any-any-update93.tar.gz but this later only paniced the FreeBSD kernel. Do I miss something? The goal is that I want to switch over from SuSE 8.1 to FreeBSD and if possible copy over as well my VWware disks from the old installation to VMware on FreeBSD.
