Similar problem with fresh install of ubuntu desktop 10.04/i386 under VMware Workstation 5.0.0-13124; X would just keep crashing out (even with failsafe/vesa) with :
Illegal instruction at address 0xb76c1ca3 Caught signal 4 (Illegal instruction). Server aborting Workaround/solution was to move /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 out of the way.
