I migrated from 2.4 to 2.6 (gentoo-dev-sources with grsecurity patches) without any problem....
- exactly what goes wrong with vmware and 2.6 ?
- I can PM you my 2.6.7 kernel configuration, if it might provide you some hints...

Hi, thanks for the speedy reply,
Problem with VMWARE is the screen screws up and freezes as soon as i attempt to
start a virtual machine. Id switch back to 2.4 if it wasn't for the fact it dosen't work very well with nForce chipsets  |

Seems that you are not the only one having problems with 2.6+nforce+vmware....
Take a look here:
