[OmniOS-discuss] vmware and omnios problem with passthru

[Dale Ghent]

Interesting that it seems to happen upon making the ixgbe driver do work. However, vmware logs don't do us much good here as they don't actually give us any valuable information. Would would need to see the crash info from OmniOS and a the crash dump.
