Hmm, I didn't realize that VMWare needs SMP.  Do note, though, that the
config help says the following:

    If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
    machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
    you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
    singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
    will run faster if you say N here.
