Hi Frans, thanks a lot for your reply. :-)

I can imagine that formal reaction, but OTOH this seems like a general kernel incompatibility which they should care about. You can be fairly sure that it is _not_ something Debian specific that is causing the problem.
Hopefully you´re right. I glimpsed through VMWare discussion board, and iirc there were some complaints about kernel 2.6.21 issues, but nothing about 2.6.18 (on what d-i is based). You could try a daily built D-I image, which uses kernel 2.6.20. But note
that there are a lot of changes in unstable which may result in issues with daily builds.
Tried that today and had still no luck... :-( But I´ll stick to this, maybe it´ll install some day. I expect that the issue will automatically sort itself out with time. I hope so! But in my eyes this looks like a problem concerning CPU-Type <-> VMWare 6 <-> Linux/kernel. Remember, if I use a different system with Intel cpu, same VMWare version, same netinst-image, everything runs like a charm... regards, Andi
