  Debian 4.0 and VMWare Workstation 6: Installer hang  Hi
everybody,  I´ve a bizarre hangup situation here when using
Debian Etch as a guest in VMWare Workstation 6.0 RC2. This seems
to be connected to the Debian netinst kernel somehow. But first,
here is what I did:  1. downloaded
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/4.0_r0/i386/iso-
cd/debian-40r0-i386-netinst.iso 2. connected
debian-40r0-i386-netinst.iso to VMWare´s CD-ROM drive 3. powered
up VMWare Workstation 6.0 RC2 This happened:  1. Grub screen
appears 2. Debian installer shows "Debian swirl" at top of
screen 3. When I press ENTER, the installer´s kernel just hangs
with "Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel"  This hang
does also happen, if I open a VMWare image (which contains
Debian stock kernel 2.6.18) I created elsewere.  My host machine
is an AMD Athlon 900 MHz sytem running Windows 2000.  Note, this
error does NOT appear under one of the following circumstances:
1. If using VMWare Workstation 5.5 instead of 6.0 RC2 2. If
using a host machi
