Pretty much having a complete kernel tree installed, and compiled.

I'm totally confused why VMWare s running fine here and others have it
running also under debian amd64. Is VMWare using the 32 bit libraries
in the /emul directory?

Well I not sure how this all works and what libraries and being used,
but I do not run VMWare under a 32 bit chroot. It runs fine here under
debian amd64. 

Actually I could not even get VMWare running in a 32 bit chroot. That
is why I followed the instructions posted in this maillist on how to
setup VMWare under debian amd64. 

Check out the mail archives for details. 

Good luck,

Alan
