my hardware is this:

2 pentium III 1.13 gb processors
tyan motharboard w/ via chipset
1.5 gb ram

adaptec 2490 scsi card.
plextor cd re-writer 8/2/20

sound blaster live card

-----------------------------------------------------------

problem description:

when i have vmware up and running w2k server,
and i burn a cd from bash (as root) using cdrecord,
i am getting a kernel panic.

also to note, the emu10k1 sound driver is loaded with xmms playing mp3s.

----------------------------------------------------------

additional kernel info:

i was able to save this data because i configured the kernel to use the serial port as its console,
and i had tail -f /var/log/messages running on the serial port console
