Let me clarify my previous post...I didn't say the poster I quoted had
to have a bleeding edge kernel, I'm saying *I* need to have a bleeding
edge kernel and right now the only way I can run 10.3 and VMWare is
under 10.2 in a virtual machine running 10.3....it should be the other
way around :( I have a new ASUS motherboard with 2.45 TB of raid5
hardware disk drives and running an AMD 5000+ Dual cpu and the new
kernel solves several problems so I don't really want to go backward.
I want VMWare to move forward.
