Yeah. Use Alan's kernels with VMware. These are one which I daily tests and for which I can say that they works (== do not use VMware with 2.4.13-ac8, vmmon will not restore correct %cr2 value under some conditions, use -ac7 until it is clear whether non-standard %cr2 usage is going to stay or not).
