For vmware server, there is a vmware-any-any patch which can often fix
similar errors.  (not always, and I don't know if it's applicable to
x86_64.

(I'm not sure where it hides these days, but a quick google for
vmware-any-any patch should turn it up.)

I repeat, I'm not sure it will help in this case--however, for similar
errors on vmware server on 32 bit systems, it usually works.
