That would be good I have read several things but would be nice to see.....
I'm not sure how much vmware server 2 makes use of the hardware extensions but thought I would give it a try and see what happens....

trying to use VMI ... it's when multiple hypervisors try to take
control of the hypervisor interface/instructions of a smv/vmx CPU that
things get messy... without VMI the vmware guests will be fully
virtualised and not trying to make use of the HVM extensions.... of
course that could effect performance a bit but might not be noticeable
over a short term....
I put together a simple conversion method I used at work to move from
vmware to KVM - happy t opost the instructions if needed.
