I run gentoo 2006.1 with "~amd64" use-flag and all packages are up to date. Everything runs fine except VMware-Server. i set the virtual machine up using vmware server under windows xp and installed the virtual disk on a fat32 filesystem. I planned to use the same virtual machine with both os, windows and gentoo, but it doesn't work as i expected. The installation went through without a flaw and i can even start the vmware console and log on to the local machine. i see my virtual machine but when i try to start it my whole system freezes. I thought it might be a graphics problem (I'm running beryl desktop) but the freeze also happens when i start the machine via commandline (vmware-cmd). It would be much easier if there was at least one entry in any log but actually there's nothing! Neither in the syslog nor in the vmware log. I did an strace starting the machine which i can post if there's interest in it. Anyway the same error occurs also when i start a "fresh" machine without relation to another install (i.e. no shared disk or that stuff). Any help highly appreciated!
