Description Thorsten Kampe 2004-01-12 00:28:05 UTC
The new release 4 Kernel from gentoo-sources makes an 'Oops' starting
vmware (newest version) with a virtual machine. I could reproduce this
on a IBM Netvista Desktop machine and on a laptop with similar ".config". The release 3 Kernel was okay and 'gentoo-stable', too.

Even unmerging and re-emerging didn't help...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot into new kernel
2. start virtual machine
3. virtual machine freezes

Actual Results:  
kernel oops on the console

Expected Results:  
run as normal

I'm not at home so I cannot paste anything. Will give any relevant details on 
request.
