Description Alex Smith 2005-01-22 10:54:17 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; 
YPC 3.0.2; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

Description of problem:
I install Fedora Core 3 on VMware Workstation 4.5.2 (I've tried 
Workstation 5 Beta as well), and it installs fine. When I reboot into 
the new installation, everything is very, very slow. It takes about 8 
minutes to start up. Everything runs so slowly, that it is unusable. 
I tracked this problem down to the kernel, because I installed a 
custom kernel and it worked fine. I'm not sure what kernel option 
causes it though.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.9

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora Core 3 in VMware Workstation
2. Reboot virtual machine
    

Actual Results:  The virtual machine ran very slowly

Expected Results:  The system runs fine

this was caused by the 4g4g patch in earlier kernels.
If you run the update kernels, this should be fixed.
