It would propably be the best do add a architecture profile in menuconfig
for VMWare, and make some configurations i.e. reboot=acpi, LSI and
Buslogic SCSI, PIIX, E1000 and PCNet LAN, and some more. If the community
is interested I can post recommended settings. I've done very much on ESX
and Workstation with it.. .
