interrupt lost when trying to run redhat (not enterprise) 6.2 as guest

[bl4krat]

I am trying to run redhat 6.2 (circa 2000)* as a VMware Player 14.1.5 guest  under Win 10.

Although I can install the OS, i can't get it to actualy run - during boot, it loads the busLogic driver, and then i just get 'interrupt lost' messages.

Redhat 6.2 came with linux kernal 2.2.14-5.0

What is the magic combination of settings I need to get this to run properly?

Annoyingly, I HAVE managed to get it running with VitualBox, emulating a buslogic scsi harddrive.....

Cheers

*Why the heck am i doing this? Well, I need a very old c-compiler (with no stack protection, etc) to try my hand at the gera Insecure Programming challenges

Please attach the  next vmware.log that you get when you start the VM again.
Hopefully you can get away with some vmx tweaks.
