I've been told by another user that this problem began for him when he rebuilt his OS and kernel in mid-June. VMware gives an "Abort Trap" message with vmmon receiving a SEGV when powering on the virtual machine configured for access to a raw partition. Access to a virtual disk in the filesystem still works properly. This appears to likely be a kernel issue. >How-To-Repeat: With current kernel, configure VMware to book from a physical disk partition and power on. I will gladly provide any additional information if given instructions on how to get the data. >Fix: None known. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-bugs->knu Responsible-Changed-By: sheldonh Responsible-Changed-When: Tue Jul 18 01:25:43 PDT 2000 Responsible-Changed-Why: vmware2 is knu's port. Even if he isn't the one to fix whatever is causing the problem in-kernel (if that's really where the problem lies), he's still a good person to drive the PR. :-) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=19991 From: Brian Somers To: sheldonh@FreeBSD.ORG Cc: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.ORG, knu@FreeBSD.ORG, brian@Awfulhak.org Subject: Re: kern/19991: VMware partition access broken in mid-june with kernel/sys update Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2000 18:34:39 +0100 > Synopsis: VMware partition access broken in mid-june with kernel/sys update > > Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-bugs->knu > Responsible-Changed-By: sheldonh > Responsible-Changed-When: Tue Jul 18 01:25:43 PDT 2000 Recompiling vmware2 fixed this here. -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour ! State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback State-Changed-By: knu State-Changed-When: Wed Jul 19 04:14:31 JST 2000 State-Changed-Why: Rebuild and reinstall emulators/{vmware,rtc} and try again. You have to do that everytime you update the kernel, in case the kernel update includes interface changes. Hint: such port as vmware and rtc includes kernel modules. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=19991 State-Changed-From-To: feedback->closed State-Changed-By: knu State-Changed-When: Sat Aug 19 00:41:25 JST 2000 State-Changed-Why: Timed out. Thanks for the report, and please report us again when/if you are troubled with the latest version of the port. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=19991 >Unformatted:
