I have run windowsxp, windows2000 and gentoo within vmware 4 under
linux. No differences in install, except choosing the right hardware,
and installing the vmware tools after a completed install.

Sounds like a kernel issue maybe. I know that the 2.6 series isn't
completely vmware friendly yet. What kernel sources are you running?
Have you managed to get any different OSs to install (IE another
gentoo, bsd, or a windows* variant)? Also, at what point did it freeze.
It might have been something to do with the network or usb perhaps. Try
removing some of these options in the config to try to debug.
