Yeah, running 2.6.23-gentoo-r9 in vmplayer on XP. I was getting the same error till I read somewhere about trying the noapic option. Fired right up. Here's my grub.conf entry for the kernel in case it helps. title Gentoo Linux 2.6.23-r9 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.23-gentoo-r9 root=/dev/sda3 noapic If you'd like the .config even though it's a different kernel, just say so. festus -- I just want to break even.
