hi, I don't know whether the modification to sda has been already flushed to the virtual disk of VMWare. The safe way seems to issue the command: "reboot" in the console. Meanwhile, i have no idea on whether VMWare version matters or not. My VMWare workstation is 6.5. I have posted the steps to build the installed image file directly here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting/msg/2dedc5fe7ad58ed3 After that you can use the steps to create the vmdk to use with VMWare. :) See whether it solves the issue. Hope it helps. -- Chen
