I will write up my experience after I digest it a little more.

I give up on trying to get VMWare 3.2 to work on either FreeBSD 4.x or
5.x. Thank you to everyone who tried to help me. After 5 full days of
trial and error on 3 machines, I think I can say it needs to be looked
at by a non-newby.
The only time I got it to run was with a 5.2-Release
For example, I have been trying to install the vmware3 port - and I find
all kinds of tidbits all over the web about little things that need to
be done to get it to work. The information sometimes covers version
2.0, sometimes 3.2, and sometimes 4.5. If someone just goes in to
I'm new to FreeBSD, maybe I am missing something obvious?
You probably missed the pkg-message display. In your terminal session, simply
scroll back a view lines after the install target has been completed or type
'cat /usr/ports/emulators/vmware3/pkg-message' to view it again.
Indeed, I was
I am beginning to try and run the vmware3 port on FreeBSD-5.3beta6.
First I upgraded the machine to 5.3-Stable by putting RELENG_5 in my
stable-supfile.
Next I went in to /usr/ports/emulators/vmware3 and ran:
make
make install
I rebooted and ran vmware in a command window, and then entered
I solved these DMA problems on my server by replacing my ASUS
motherboard's IDE controller with an Adaptec 1200A RAID controller
(simply used as a different ATA controller).
Now my workstation is getting a similar error. The machine is a 2
year-old Compaq Presario 6024.

My computers are trully going haywire.
The subject of this thread was supposed to be:
Ok, this is bad. WRITE_DMA retrying...WRITE_DMA no interrupt but good

Thunderbird also deletes messages after I read them, to where I do not
know. All I know is, I get to read them once.

I am getting TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA messages on my ad2 and ad3
hard-drives. I never get them on ad0 or the CD drive. I did some
searching, and it sounds like I need to turn of preemption in the
kernel. I'm running 5.3-BETA4 on the computer.
I am going to guess this is turned on for the
Well, I think I found the problem.
FreeBSD 4.x and 5.x do not like my new Asus P4SP-MX (Celeron)
motherboard's IDE controller.
I fixed this by using a leftover Adaptec 1200A Raid controller as an
alternate IDE controller. I plugged the 3 HD's in to the 1200A, and I
no longer get the DMA
