Hi: I am trying to run VMware 3 port from /usr/ports/emulators/vmware3 on FreeBSD 7.0 STABLE. I did a make install from the /usr/ports as root and the build and install went fine. It installed Linux Base FC4 and then installed VMWare 3.
However, whenever I try to startup vmware, I get an error that /dev/vmmon cannot be found. The error is: Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory. Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded. Failed to initialize monitor device. Linprocfs is mounted on /compat/linux/proc. I also ran the /usr/local/rc.d/vmware.sh start and it reported that all modules are already loaded. kldstat reveals that vmmon_smp.ko is indeed loaded. Based on some research, I found this issue reported in FreeBSD 5.4; I believe the same is at work here. I am running on a DELL SMP hardware (DELL Precision 530 Workstation). http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2005-May/012725.html Any way to fix this issue in FreeBSD 7? Is it due to the SMP hardware? Can I make VMWare belive that it is running on Uniprocessor hardware? _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
