Inappropriate?Clive,
This is not a problem with the VM per se, but with the Ubuntu kernel shipped with the VM. All of our VMware VMs should work on versions of VMware Workstation (5.5 and above), Fusion (1.x and 2.x) and Server (ESX 3.5 and up), and should work on all the supported hardware.
We use a snapshot of Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04) that was dated several months after the original release, but it apparently had the same problem on bare-metal machines. For instance, see here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/....
So the answer is yes, our VMs are intended to work on PIII, M series and older P4 series chipsets, if the host system works on them. However if the host system passes on information to the VM that would have caused the default install of the OS to not work then the VMs may not work.
Could you, perhaps, try Ubuntu 8.10? That may have better results for you.
Thanks.

Inappropriate?sorry but your ubu 8.10 kernel doesn't work either

so could you please change both your 8.04 and 8.10 kernel masters to ones that dont require PAE on the cpu since my vmware server cpus only have support for the following flags
flags :
fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss tm pbe up bts est tm2
note this is not an ubuntu issue since i am running 8.04 natively on this machine as my host os for vmware server -
Inappropriate?We'll investigate further and see what we can do.
I would argue that it is an Ubuntu issue since they provide the kernels. We selected a kernel from their images based on their defaults. When you installed natively on your machine the install disks were able to run a bit of logic that identified certain specifics about your chipset, and an appropriate kernel was chosen. We don't have that luxury as we know little about the host hardware on which our VMs are to be run. But as I said, we'll see what we can do.
