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: State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: sheldonh State-Changed-When: Tue Jul 18 01:24:38 PDT 2000 State-Changed-Why: Duplicate of kern/19991. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=19992 >Unformatted:
