I've just installed JeOS 7.10 on VMware Workstation 6.0.2 on an Ubuntu 7.10 i386 host. It installed perfectly using an IDE emulated hard disk and now it's updated. One cool thing I noticed is that the VMware guest kernel modules are included already in JeOS, that is vmhgfs, vmblock, vmxnet and vmmemctl. I used to have a problem installing Dapper Server 6.06 on older versions of VMware. The solution I found was to use the desktop kernel rather than the server kernel as I couldn't get the server kernel to boot on virtual hardware. It's been ages since I had this problem though, I doubt it's even the same issue. What version of VMware software are you running?
