Hi there people And thanks for taking the time to read the flow of incoming questions on this list ;-) My question is a followup of the thread started by Michael Ritchie a couple weeks ago http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi? fetch=2417405+2419960+/usr/local/www/db/text/2003/freebsd- questions/20030126.freebsd-questions I'm kinda in the same situation : XP Pro, WMWare 3.2, several virtual machines running fine (linux,w2k), but the freebsd 5- RELEASE is quite a pain to use in this env. The guest OS keeps on slowing down, to the point that it's unusable. I'd say that after 30 minutes, it starts slowing down a lot. The installation process is quite risky in this matter. I launched a kernel compilation 15 hours ago. The system was already slow and ... the compilation is not over !! I see no process named "idle" (see the previous thread), but, having launched a "top" in another terminal, here's what I see : 0% user, 0% nice, 8.3% system, 91.7% interrupt !!! Now I can't do anything on this virtual machine. Not a ctrl-C, not even changing console. Kris Kenna talked about a kernel option for fix this. The problem would be related to a specific opcode emulation done by VMWare. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I just can't use 5.0 right now in this environnement. Thanks everyone Yvon
