Does the host CPU make a difference? I thought it was all emulated? I
tried to recompile the kernel with the generic '386 CPU settings and
removed all power mgmt etc, and the same issue happens.
The host CPU shouldn't make a difference as a VMWare .vmx is supposed to
work the same on all hosts. However, the VMWare version in use on your
friend's machine might be broken on AMD, or he has done something dumb.
No, it does make difference. The guest OS uses the same CPU as the host,
with the exception of the number of available cores. If there are 2 or
more cores on the host, including virtual ones through multithreading, the
guest may use 1 or 2 cores. If the host has only one core, the guest must
be configured to use only one.
