Thanks Tru and Johnny, one more question.&nbsp; Can I just use the centos5-testing repo, ie, yum enablerepoxxx install kernel-vm?&nbsp; I ask because I tried and while it worked it loaded an older kernel.&nbsp; Should I just go to tru&#39;s directory and install the RPM directly?&nbsp; Also, ok more than one question, are the open-vm-tools in the same repo or only found in Johnny&#39;s testing directory.&nbsp; Thanks again...<br>

Thanks to Tru, kernel-vm is all up-to-date and you can find it here:<br>

<br>
and yes, using the clocksource=pit option should not be an issue with<br>
these kernels.<br>

So if I understand this correctly, one should not be using a stock kernel when running inside a vm, but should use the kernel-vm kernel?<br>

It depends on the host hardware and OS - many combinations have trouble servicing the 1000hz guest clock which has to be simulated in software. &nbsp;Also, some host systems have variable speed CPUs controlled by power managment which throws off the guests:<br>
