high hard disk usage and very low performance in kernel 2.6.29 vmware workstation 6.5.2

Hi, I'm using vmware 6.5.2 with kernel 2.6.29 in Fedora.

It can compile kernel modules properly, but when I start a virtual machine in which a windows XP is installed, which was working with kernel 2.6.27 and vmware 6.5.1 very well, it goes to IOWait all the time and the performance is very bad. Also when I shutdown the virtual machine, it seems that even after 30 minutes the machine is not stoped and when I want to again start it, it says that the machine is being used by another process and when I shutdown my linux machine, the stoping of Vmware Authentication service fails.

How can I fix it?

Best,

Adrin.
