I just checked my CPU with Processor Check for 64-Bit Compatibility and it seems that my CPU is too much "semi" 64-bit for VMware. More about that on http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/dynamickc.do?externalId=1901&sliceId=1&command=show&forward=nonthreadedKC&kcId=1901 Thanks Chris anyway for a help. Janko Chris Worley wrote:
Are you building the guest from scratch from w/in VMWare, or trying to use an already running drive for the VM guest?
I had a similar problem trying to run a Win/XP/64 already-built-and-running disk in VMWare Server (which is compatible [and free] w/ VMWare WorKstation 5) running under a 32-bit OpenSuSE 10.2 host.
Building a Win/XP/64 small-root disk in VMWare Server, then attaching the existing disk as a secondary drive worked (I can see all the files fine... now I need to figure out how to get Windows to see the programs and users on the old disk and use the old disk for the program and user space... what would be trivial in Unix can't be done in WinDoh's).
Also, the community support on the VMWare list servers is really good.

I have a problem installing VMware Workstation 6.0. x86-64 on my 10.0 64-bit. Problem is, that VMware still doesn't want to run 64bit guest systems and also in YAST it still reports architecture as i386. Does anybody know how to install it correctly?
