freebsd stable - Mar 2005 - VMware, AIO, what's up?

I'm confused.  VMWare (3) no longer works for me.  I upgraded my base
linux to base_linux_8 (from 6 I think) and now I get:

    VMware PANIC: (ide0:0) NOT_IMPLEMENTED F(831):712
    VMware PANIC: (VMX) AIO: NOT_IMPLEMENTED F(831):712

I have aio.ko loaded and so it isn't that, and it worked a few days ago.
I'm scratching my head and could really do with a clue stick.  Will
someone please throw me one?

Thanks :)

Joe

You need to run the
	vmware-any-any-update
patch on the vmware binary to make it work with the new Linux libs.
You can google to find it:

  a21p%  ./update vmware
  Updating vmware ... VMware Workstation 2.0.4 (build-1142), now patched
  a21p%
