    is there a way to have linux emulation report that its kernel is running
    on a UP system even though the freebsd box it's running on is SMP? i
    would like to get vmware running on my smp -current box, but vmmon_smp.ko
    is "broken", and with vmmon_up.ko loaded i get a message about needing to
    be running on an smp linux kernel version 2.0 (2.2) or higher, even though
    linux emulation reports a 2.4 kernel. my hope is that having vmware make
    no attempt at using smp resources i can get it to start.

    thanks for any help.
    -Anthony.

    compat.linux.osname: Linux
