Is there a known issue with 9.0-RELEASE on amd64 VMWare Workstation?


Since nobody has chimed in I felt I should:

I use FreeBSD 9.0 routinely under VMWare Workstation without issue (my 
current VMWare Workstation version is 8.0.0 which is slightly out of 
date, 8.0.3 is available).



I tried to build a new VM on my new Lenovo W520 Laptop (Windows 7
Pro/64-Bit, 16G ram) and it gets to the Beastie menu, and times out, then
dies.

Any ideas?

What can I provide?


The version of VMWare Workstation you are running.


And, is there an issue with 9 in general, or could I install 8.3 and then
source update it to 9 or 10?


I build test VMs for 9 and do test upgrades from 6.x, 7.x and 8.x to 9 
using VMWare Workstation on my desktop and laptop without issue.

Did you tried disabling acpi to check? I had a similar problem, not
with FreeBSD, but with DragonflyBSD.

Is this the installer that doesn't boot or is it the OS after you've 
installed?


If its the former you might just have a bad ISO download. Have/did you 
verified the checksum of the ISO?

Hello,

 Lastly, since we're talking about this (for the future) -- is
 enabling of superpages generally recommended for amd64?

They are enabled by default (at least on 9.0)

$ sysctl vm.pmap.pg_ps_enabled
vm.pmap.pg_ps_enabled: 1

AUDIT and jails.

2012-05-15 Thread Peter Ankerstål
I have tried to enable audit trails for jails but I can't get it to work, 
is there something special I need to do? Nothing shows up in the logs when I do 
anything inside a jail.

Re: 9.0-RELEASE amd64: No Boot on VMWare Workstation

2012-05-15 Thread Larry Rosenman
Ok, I'm just impatient.  I let it sit, and it eventually came up.

Would it be possible for the next 9.x release to set hw.memtest.tests=0
when we discover we're under a hypervisor to avoid doing the tests? (or
default it to 0 in the installer kernel?)?
