Sorry, not quite what I meant. That won't work... I don't think any parameter passed in from GRUB can avoid this. > All other Vmware guests are working fine, so I'd rather not set that option > on the host, which has: > GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="vga=773 elevator=deadline" Also I didn't mean for you to change that either; that controls the the host's use of the system's real HPET device. What I really meant is that VMware is emulating a virtual HPET device and providing that to the guest. I think disabling it would help to avoid this crash. I'm not familiar with VMware, but for example Qemu has a -no-hpet argument and Xen has an (hpet 0) option for exactly this. [I suspect the FreeBSD kernel, since 9.0, inappropriately guesses (based on IRQ number) what devices to use level-triggered interrupts for and will try to do this for the HPET; some virtualisation platforms don't seems to like it].
