Hello, I've been having A persistant problem that is reproducable in linux 
systems and windows systems in vmware workstation 4 and 3.2.1.

The problem occurs when a number of writes are attempted on the scsi disk (the 
vmware virtual hard disk).

After many failures with a windows install, I tried it with the gentoo 
live-cd, I found i could partion sda, however when I attempted a dd 
if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sda, In both vmware 3.2.1 and vmware 4 I get the 
following entries in the log file:

<backtrace after signal 7>

Aug 28 02:34:05: vmx| VMX IPC closed the connection with thread scsi0:1 
(0x8224e8c)

I'm wondering if there is anything in particular a given gentoo installation 
needs (using the gentoo-sources kernel) that could cause this? Or is it 
simply a bug that is destin for bugs.gentoo.org?

Thanks

Steve

Youth.  It's a wonder that anyone ever outgrows it.

The 3 case C++ function to determine the meaning of life:

char *meaingOfLife(){

#ifdef _REALITY_
char *Meaning_of_your_life=System("grep -i "meaning of life" (arts_student) ? 
                                                      /dev/null:/dev/random);
#endif

#ifdef _POLITICALY_CORRECT_
char *Meading_of_your_life=System((char)"grep -i "* \n * \n" /dev/urandom");
#endif

#ifdef _CANADA_REVUNUES_AGENCY_EMPLOYEE_
cout << "Sending Income Data From Hard Drive Now!\n";
System("dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hda");
#endif

return Meaning_of_your_life;

}
