VMWARE reports the follwoing error: *** VMware Workstation internal monitor error *** NOT_IMPLEMENTED at 400da2 (4460) This absolutely is a bug in VMWARE, However the GENRIC kernel prevent a large number of users to taste 5.2 in VMWARE. I understand that to enable it in -current can help testing the new code. Is it worth to enable it in Release? There is similiar problem in virtualpc that my friends told me. I have no that software to have a try. Thanks, Jun Su
