F8 Boot Under VMware Server

I'm running Fedora 8 under VMware Server 1.0.4 on two WinXP Pro
systems, one an IBM Thinkpad T41, the other a ThinkCentre A60. Virtual
machine specs are identical. On one system (the Thinkpad), Fedora boots
directly (and quickly). On the desktop system, during boot, Fedora
seems to be trying to access some hundred or so devices from SDA through
SDDZ, taking close to 30 minutes to get into the real boot process.
Both were installed from the DVD .iso downloaded with Azureus.
Has anyone run into a similar issue, and (hopefully) figured out
how to get around it. I'm hopeful it's a configuration file somewhere,
that can be tweaked manually.
Thanks,
Gordon Keehn
