- I'm using 5.2 or 5.3 as a host.
- my expierince: 5.4 is not stable with vmware as a host.

The hosts are completely behind firewall.

Vmware server 2.0.2-203138

With 5.3 my problem was solved.

Why?  Are you wanting it as a VMware host or guest?  As the kernels are basically identical in terms of the version string, the VMware kernel modules, for VMware Server or Workstation as a host, and VMware tools as a guest, should load without a recompile.

I'm running a number of CentOS 5.5 guests on VMware ESX 3.5U5 with no issue.

Which VMware is this, type and version, please?
