vmware and kitchens.

Hi all. Been reading posts and successfully using some pre-built rom's for a few months now, but this is my first post. Finally settled on Kirvin's sprint nojunk and been loving it. Decided to try my hand at cooking my own and seeing how it went. I run vmware with winxp under SUSE 10.1 and have had no problems burning the roms to the apache. Tried this with exactly the same results with both BigJ's 6-12 reloaded, and the APAC 3.5r4 kitchens. I am not running ANY custom oem's and not touching a thing except what is in the how-to. Basically clicking what I want and unclicking what I don't want (paying attention to possible confilcts with like apps/modules). Build goes fine, convert goes fine and burns to apache without a hick-up. Then after the hard reset, goes to a snowy screen with the hardware revision info in red at the bottom. No matter what I select in the build, same thing happens. Have tried it with almost nothing in the builds even. Total of 7 times between the both. Is there something in vmware that is causing the rom to not compile properly? I have been running vmware for over a year with the only problem being my lifedrive causing a sync crash during sync. (problem is I need to recompile without visor support but don't actually use the LD, so no bid deal). Is there anyone else having similar problems? I am unsure if this is a vmware problem, or something else. If it matters, I am using an external USB drive for all the build files and the rom when it is burnt to the apache. Gonna try the prebuilt BigJ reloaded when I finish this post, and will see if that goes well. I appreciate all you do here and for us users, and hope to get past this issue si I might be able to contribute a touch to this project.
