[ENBD] enbd on vmware

[Simon Edwards]

Hello,
	I'm new to enbd (and nbd) so I'm sorry if I ask something that
has been previously asked, (though I've tried a couple of grep's through
the old postings).

	I'm keen to get to grips with enbd, but rather than try it on a
development machine I've built a Linux virtual machine (under Vmware)
running a modified version of 2.4.18 (based on Slackware).

	I've successfully compiled and inserted the enbd module (version
2.4.30) into the kernel manually, but the "make test" gets as far as the
main loop and then hangs (output below) - apparently in a busy loop.

	I'm currently gathering some real hardware for a test rig but in
the mean time all I have is Vmware - I'm wondering whether anyone else
on the list has had any success with this approach?

Regards,

Simon.
