VMWare on Fedora 8

I've installed F8 on an x86-64 system.  I've installed
the latest VMWare 6.0.2 rpm for x86-64.  I rebuilt and
installed a local copy of 2.6.23.1-49 kernel so that I
would have a source image for VMWare to build it's kernel
modules with.  The compile of the VMWare modules appears
to be OK.

I've copied an existing VMWare image from another system.
When I start VMWare, it starts OK, but the system hangs
as soon as I tell it to start the guest machine.  There's
nothing useful in the vmware.log or /var/log/messages.

Has anyone run VMWare under F8?  Any tips or pointers?
