Hi,

*If* the VM has a PCIE-PCI bridge and you disabled pcieb, then yes the system will panic but with a different stack trace. The stack trace that you are seeing indicates some sort of problem with path_to_inst. In the case of VMWare workstation (I tried version 7), there
is no PCIE-PCI bridge device so disabling pcieb driver creates no problems.

VMware fusion is a different beast, so it is possible that disabling pcieb may not be required. If it is required, you could try booting with -a (insert -a just after "unix" in the
kernel$ line), that may give you an option to bypass /etc/path_to_inst.

Hi,

This looks like a different bug. Please send any lines in /etc/path_to_inst 
that has the
string pcieb.

There are no lines in /etc/path_to_inst with the string pcieb.

Jürgen reckoned (in a bugzilla comment) that this might be bug 6896160 "Disabling driver via 
"-B disable-xxx=true" on grub boot line results in panic", which is a bit of a 
double whammy as you *have* to disable pcieb in a VMware VM right now :-)

Cheers,

Chris
