Everything works really good. The point is that you can't use a real phisical partition of any of your disks. You have to create a virtual disk for the guest system. That's not the case with VMware Workstation. VMware Server supports raw disks too. You can mount partition from physical disk to virtual machine easily. -- Sergey -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

VMware Workstation is a commercial product, so the compatibility list is more do do with compatibility with their support team than the software. You are right. We are using VMware with Gentoo as host and guest OS more than a year w/o problems. -- Sergey -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

You are right about the recent kernels, the vmware modules did not compile for me several times until vmware released patches. Quite annoying. But apart from that, vmware works quite well. It works well on 2.6.23 2.6.24. -- Sergey -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
