Warren Togami provided that hint a few days ago
(http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-May/msg00317.html)
and it has been working for both an FC2 installation upgraded via yum
and for a new FC2T3+rawhide install today on FC1 host with
vmware-any-any-update65.  Trying to run or install FC2 with recent
kernels on an FC2T3 host still reboots my host as of the last time I
tried it a couple of days ago.  Haven't seen any more reports from the
Windows host world.

Looks like Red Hat may be reconsidering a real fix since I reopened the
Bugzilla entry
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121876 after
comments by Petr Vandrovec, the vmware-any-any patch creator.  Stay
tuned...

Thanks,
Phil
