Are you running on AMD or Intel as there maybe an additional line you need.

Look at my .vmx I have just posted plus have you configured an nfs mount or anything, maybe not relevant.

[MitchHP]

If you are using an AMD CPU you have to add >Monitor_control.enable_svm = TRUE< as mentioned in the whitepaper you are using.

I also had to install a few patches after the initial installation to ged rid of several other error messages such as the "kernel vmfs2 error" but ESX does run successfully with Workstation 6.0 on my system.

From the xtravirt site

"Note: Intel CPU(s) on the hardware running Workstation 6 must have the VT technology or the performance of ESX will be very poor. It is believed that the same applies with AMD chips with AMD-V compatible CPU's being recommended, although it is currently untested by us on this platform."

If you have Intel VT chip/s then make sure it is enabled in the BIOS.
