[Fedora-livecd-list] udev hangs with livecd on VMware 6.5.2

Hi Everyone,

    I have seen a peculiar problem with Fedora Livecd, i have the latest
release
    Fedora 11. But i have been unsuccessful in using it through Vmware 6.5.2
and
    6.5.3. Livecd boots its way upto starting udev daemon and hangs in
initramfs.
    From there on it just stays there for ever with nothing really
happening.

    I have seen the actual hang occurs at line "/sbin/udevadm trigger"  this
right
    after udev daemon is started, this i came to a guess by seeing the
    "sbin/real-init" script which runs udev.

    I wanted to know if anyone here has stumbled upon this issue that Fedora
live
    cd was not working with Vmware, any work arounds if possible. If anyone
can
    help me going with this it would be really helpful thanks.

   PS: Fedora live normally works prelly well with all the HW available i
have tested.
   Even KVM and xen works. Is it really a problem with Vmware?

Thanks
