[Phil Schaffner]

Attempting to install T3 on VMware Workstation 4.5, booting from ISO #1
gets to

running install...
running /sbin/loader

Then dies with the VMware Error:

Not entirely unexpected as VMware (on FC1 host) has not been able to run
FC2 test kernels as guest OS since 2.6.5-1.322 (just before the reiserfs
fix) without this problem.  Reported to VMware, but this configuration
is (obviously ;-) unsupported.

Anybody successfully running FC2 TestX (kernel > 2.6.5-1.322) on VMware?
