There may be more > "issues," however. you qouted the URLs for a working patch from my post! i have run VMware Workstation on 2.6.40 since sunday with 2 headless running server virtual machines which both do hughe backup-jobs via cron and all is running fine Host: Fedora 15 x86_64: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9300 @ 2.50GHz Guests: F14 x86_64 and F15 x86_64 both with two networks (nat + bridge) On my workstation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz it does the job also as well with WinXP as long in grub.conf "nmi_watchdog=0" is added to the kernel-params, but this has nothing to do with 2.6.40 is is since upgrade to F15
