Please try to use the -cpu phenom CPU and Nested Paging on an AMD CPU.
That's the only configuration I got things working at least a bit with.
If that work so far, apply the VMware backdoor patch I posted on the
qemu list, that exposes the TSC speed to ESX.

Using that configuration I was able to run ReactOS in the nested guest
pretty well. Linux got stuck somewhere in udev though. Don't try 64-bit
Linux yet.
