Maybe try booting the machine in question with a non-highmem enabled kernel (for example command line parameter ram=768m I think)?

Is anyone using vmplayer with centos4.2 as the host? I have several machines where it works great other than an error that says "*** attempt to put segment in horiz list twice" in the xterm window where it is started. However, on one machine it will start to boot windows virtual machines (both win2000 and XP) and they hang about 3/4 through where the progress bar goes across the screen - and of course this is the machine where I really want to run it. The machine is an IBM eserver with dual xeons and 4 gigs RAM. A very similar but not quite identical machine with less RAM does not have the same problem. Could the memory be an issue? This same machine that has trouble with the windows virtual machines works OK with the downloadable Browser Appliance vm which turns out to be a basic ubuntu installation.
