I run vmware3 on a FreeBSD-4.10p3 system. I have a Duron-800 processor, so it's a rather slow machine. I have experienced about five sudden reboots, which are unexplained to me. They all happened while my virtual win98se had heavy disk activity. Sometimes transfering files, sometimes while I wanted to start up mozilla in X, outside the vm. It looks like something goes wrong accessing the harddisk.
Recently I rebuilded my kernel with HZ=1200 and changed the vmware config file to have vmnet1, vmnet2 etc... The virtual machines are configered "ethernet=custom --> /dev/vmnetx" I wonder: could it be that the instability of my system has something to do with the changed HZ=1200 (default hz=100) or is it better to have a HostOnly vm-machine on /dev/vmnet1 or what? Could somebody suggest me some things to look into, figuring out this strange behaviour. I don't like these reboots at all. -- dick -- http://www.nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.10 ++ Debian GNU/Linux (Woody) + Nai tiruvantel ar vayuvantel i Valar tielyanna nu vilya _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
