I've been trying to set up vmware (version 1.0.3), and in preperation, I've
recompiled my kernel from the src rpm (kernel-2.2.10-32mdk from Cooker -- a
couple of weeks old now). 

I compiled relatively light-weight kernel, to drive my Intel P2/BX chipset,
64MB ram, IDE based system. I have no floppy, but I have an ls120. I missed
out pretty much anything that I don't need for this workstation. 

After running menu config I changed the tag string to 2.2.10-32mdk-sjm1, and
did 'make dep && make clean && make bzImage && make modules && make
modules_install'. The kernel runs the machine ok, but it won't run vmware. 

I have a Win98 installation on a FAT partition, and I was planning to run
this in vmware, but I get a segfault as soon as I "power up" the vitual
machine.

How can I help to get this problem licked in time for MD6.1? I could post my
menuconfig files if that's interesting to the kernel-hackers at MD. Helpful
for me would be to see the config file from a kernel that works with vmware.
