Could be a redherring... but I know in RH 7.1 their kernel was fundamentally
broken with regards to being compiled for uniprocessor only support... you
had to compile for SMP even if you don't have more than one processor.

I don't run RH at home or at work anymore and I am a much happier
person (flame away).

Also... there are some patches you'll need for the vmware stuff to compile
with kernels greater than 2.4.8... I'm talking about vmware 2.0 though.
(I don't recall what RH 7.2 ships with... but it's probably around 2.4.8-2.4.10
if I had to guess).
