[Gllug] VMware Server on Debian Etch AMD64 - anyone got this towork?

[Andy Millar]

Vmware server 1.0.5 I think

No patch

Yes, I do have the ia32 libs installed  - the vmware mui wouldn't install without them.

Not really :)

The funny thing is that it runs perfectly well using the bigmem i386 
(and probably other) kernels, but is flaky as heck with the AMD64 kernel.

May I ask:

- Is it Vmware server or one of the others (ESX, WS...etc)?
- what version of vmware are you using (1.05?)
- Did you patch the vmware or is it straight from vmware?
- Did you load ia32-libs?

TIA
