Hi Folks Does anyone have experience running FreeBSD under VMware? My host OS is WinXP SP1, running VMware 3.2.
I'm trying to buildworld (5.0-CURRENT as of today) but the virtual machine just gets slower and slower. When I'm monitoring the stats using top, I notice that the CPU is spending ~50% of it's time in interrupt. If I Ctrl-C the procedure, the load goes down, but interrupt % stays around 20-25% and the system is still slow, even though it's not doing anything! FreeBSD 4.8-RC2 doesn't seem to have the same problem, I have successfully built world and it stayed responsive. I have tried various things like disabling IDE DMA on the in the virtual machine's BIOS to no effect. Anyone?
