I have been having a problem with my VMware 4.1 install patches/Build 260247. This install is running on a Dell R905 with 4 quad core processors with 64Gb of ram, raid 5 running on the Perc 6/i. On this system two vm's are running and cause the machine to purple screen under normal use booting or high stress situations if you get that far.
Thanks,
Jonathon.

physical cpu 6 may be the offending party.
Yea which is what we were troubleshooting. But if that refrence is to the physical cpu I assume that would be the 2nd core on the 2nd physical CPU. cpu1 being 0-3 cpu 2 4-7 cpu3 8-11 and cpu 4 being 12-15. do you know how the CPU's are numbered in VMware? Also we replace the motherboard and CPU 2 through Dell because of the Pcpu 6 error. Before they replaced the processor we swapped 1 and 2 to see if the problem changed Pcpu's but it did not.
Thanks,

That would be my assumption as well. My apologies, I don’t know how vmware numbers cpus.
