Subject: kernel 2.4.2-ac14 in vmware - hangs

I am using VMware to test a linux install
and since I have upgraded to 2.4.2-ac14
the VM locks up right after:

calibrating APIC timer ...
..... CPU clock speed is 1152.4771 MHz.
..... host bus clock speed is 0.0000 MHz.
cpu: 0, clocks: 0, slice: 0


The last line is where it locks up... Its
kind of suspicious that the clock speeds are wrong,
The CPU speed should be 733 MHz (unless VMWare is using
both my CPU's?) and I am almost 100% sure that the
bus speed should not be 0.0000 MHz!

Can anyhone help me with this?
Is it a bug on my part or what?

Thanks,
Mike

Last time I looked at reports like this it seemed that vmware wasnt
good enough to emulate all the stuff the 2.4 kernel uses. You may find you
can get it to work with the nmi watchdog and apic disabled
