FreeLists / openbeos / [openbeos] PANIC: malloc: called with interrupts disabled

["Ben Gertzfield" <bgertzfield@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to run Haiku under VMware Fusion for Mac (basically VMware
Workstation 5.5 on a Mac host).

I downloaded rev19691_vmware.tar.gz2, and made the following .vmx:

===
config.version = "8"
virtualHW.version = "6"
scsi0.present = "FALSE"
memsize = "256"
MemAllowAutoScaleDown = "FALSE"
ide0:0.present = "TRUE"
ide0:0.fileName = "Haiku.vmdk"
floppy0.present = "FALSE"
ethernet0.present = "FALSE"
sound.present = "FALSE"
displayName = "Haiku"
guestOS = "other"
nvram = "Haiku.nvram"
===

However, when I boot it, I see the Haiku logo in the bottom right, then I get:

PANIC: malloc: called with interrupts disabled

I downgraded to build rev19645_vmware.tar.bz2, but I still got the
same error.  Here's the backtrace from that build:

I'm happy to provide any more information, or a VMware suspend state,
for this problem.

I'd love to show off Haiku running in a virtual machine under VMware
Fusion next week at Macworld -- if it's too early in the project,
that's no problem, but let me know if this is something that can be
tackled!

Cheers,
