I can imagine that formal reaction, but OTOH this seems like a general
kernel incompatibility which they should care about.
You can be fairly sure that it is _not_ something Debian specific that is
causing the problem.
Hopefully you´re
right. I glimpsed through VMWare discussion board, and iirc there were
some complaints about kernel 2.6.21 issues, but nothing about 2.6.18
(on what d-i is based).
You could try a daily built D-I image, which uses kernel 2.6.20
. But note
that there are a lot of changes in unstable which may result in issues
with daily builds.
Tried that today and had still no luck... :-(
But I´ll stick to this, maybe it´ll install some day.
I expect that the issue will automatically sort itself out with time.
I hope so!
But in my eyes this looks like a
problem concerning CPU-Type <-> VMWare 6 <-> Linux/kernel.
Remember, if I use a different system with Intel cpu, same VMWare
version, same netinst-image, everything runs like a charm...
