Hi all,

If you are using the kernel divider= option in your vmware quest, you
are probably aware of the bugs reported at:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=315471

Someone @redhat "confirmed" the fix is in the test kernel -92.  I
tried it but it seems to have the same problem as before - when used
with clocksource=pit, it hangs on bootup.  Wonder if some of you can
test this kernel and see how it goes.  The test kernel is available
from:
