I realize this may be a VMWare problem, but I just waited to bring this to the attention of the developers in case it was related to the kernel and to also see if anyone else is having the same problem. VMWare dies under load with all kernel versions up to and including ac versions after 2.4.6. Kernel version up to and including 2.4.5-ac15 I know all run fine. Somewhere between 2.4.5-ac15 and 2.4.6 is where the problem started. I have backed up to 2.4.5 now and VMWare is rock solid.

I havent had problems running vmware and I usually have it running days on end.
