Below is the relavant section from the vmware > log file at the time of failure: It must be a problem with your configuration or your home-made kernel, because it works just fine on my Debian Sid with debian kernel-2.4.20-686. I'm using the same VMWare tarball to run Win98 and Linux, and I haven't seen any problems so far which makes me think it's not sarge/sid related. By the way, I guess your post isn't quite on the good list, because VMWare development and/or issues are not appropriate here. Try debian-user maybe. -- Lucas Moulin <lucas@brebis.org> "Why go against tradition when we can admit defeat, live in decline, be the victim of our own design" -- NOFX
