I'd be interested in this as well.

Any updates?

Has anyone tried ESXi 5.1 with FreeBSD 9.0 yet? It's the first ESXi release to officially support FreeBSD 9.0. I'd be really interested in hearing about any test results.

Same here. ESX 4.x works really well with FreeBSD 7-10.

Add kern.timecounter.hardware=ACPI-fast to /etc/sysctl.conf.

Using VMware allows me to run several different (i386/amd64, 7/8/9/10) instances of FreeBSD on my Mac, which is what I primarily use for work. Using VMware also allows me to run a wide range of different operating systems at the same time on the same server, which is a much more efficient use of...

Any news?

C would be a (much) better choice.

My suggestion would be for people with valid support contracts to contact VMware support and file a bug report.

Has anyone been able to trigger this on ESX 4? I'd like to be sure that the problem only affects ESXi 5.

FWIW, I have a large set of virtual machines running FreeBSD 8.2 amd64 on ESX 4.1 and I'm not seeing this. Every VM is configured with 1 vCPU and 3GB RAM. ntpd is running. The official VMware Tools package is installed (no open-vm tools). Kernel is GENERIC, no special sysctls or kern.hz...

Try asking on the net@freebsd.org mailing list if you haven't already.

Add hw.snd.default_unit=1 to /etc/sysctl.conf. Reboot. You don't need to load all the sound modules in /boot/loader.conf beginning with FreeBSD 9.0. They are already enabled in the GENERIC kernel.

As a test: on the NFS server, add the correct hostname/ip's for both your NFS server and NFS client to /etc/hosts and see if it works.

Well, make sure your DNS server (192.168.1.1) has both A and PTR for your internal IP adresses. Another option is to edit your /etc/hosts file.

As I said, have you checked DNS? I had a similar problem just a few weeks ago, and it started working again as soon as I added PTR records for my machines.

Why are you trying to install a version of FreeBSD released 11 years ago?

Did you read the pkg-message when you installed the port? It says:

Check that reverse DNS lookups work.
