Hi, I will be very surprised that it could be AMD related, I am surprised that the AthlonXP has this issue while the Pentium M doesn't seems to have. I will be very happy to know which vmware version our Pentium M user ( Craig ) test the 2.6.8.1 kernel. I am running the 2.6.8.1 64 bits kernel version, and I was more suspecting a 32 bits compatibility issue between the vmnet driver and the vmnet-bridge binary which is a 32 bits binary. The vmnet driver is "OpenSource" while the vmnet-bridge binary is not, so we will have to get back to vmware unfortunatly they do not provide support for demo user. So is there a vmware user registered into the list. Before acquiring the software I would like at least to make it work for my target system !
