My long-term experience with VMWare has been that FreeBSD is in the barely supported category by VMWare. The guest OS tools are designed to help the VMWare host snoop on the OS internals to better manage resources like memory, so there's a chance that the tools you're running are referencing internals changed from 6.x to 7.x. That'd be my guess. You may want to post over on VMWare's forums and find out if others have this problem or if 7.x is even considered usable with the tools. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Clock stabilization in VMWare hosted machines?
Quoting Shawn Barnhart [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I know this is a major nuisance, but I can't remember how I dealt with it in the past. My most recent stab at using ntpd with minpoll 4 polling of a local ntp time source isn't working, the clock drift prevents any sync from happening (but I'll admit not trying some of the more aggressive time adjustment options to ntpd). VMWare's documentation and support leans pretty heavily toward Linux and I'm not finding a decent recommendation from them. I rebuilding a kernel with options HZ=100 to see if that makes a difference, not sure why I remember that helping, but any other strategies known to work? In my /boot/loader.conf: kern.hz=100 In the vmx-file: tools.synctime = TRUE I installed the vmware tools and ntpd That's about all. ntpdate -d 192.168.23.15: 9 Feb 20:26:47 ntpdate[45172]: adjust time server 192.168.23.15 offset 0.057667 sec Cheers, Peter -- http://www.boosten.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
