I don't know about VMware GSX 2.5, but I can tell that Red Hat Linux 9 has been exhibiting what I can only describe as "flaky" behavior on VMware Workstation 4.0 and 3.2. (For example, sometimes booting with "linux single" would properly enter single-user mode, and sometimes it wouldn't.) We're currently operating under the hypothesis that either RHL9 is tickling a bug in VMware's x86 hardware emulation, or that RHL9 breaks in subtle ways when confronted with VMware's "hardware". I would *not* assume that RHL9 will work properly when running in a VMware virtual machine. I'd definitely recommend testing it thoroughly before relying on it. -- James Ralston, Information Technology Software Engineering Institute Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA
