Cannot test 8.2 images with VMware Player on an Intel laptop (Kernel requires 3dnow)

[Ton van Overbeek]

Hello,

I am trying to run the 8.2 builds under VMWare Player on my Windows XP 
Intel laptop.
The 8.2 image I used is from  
http://pilgrim.laptop.org/~pilgrim/olpc/streams/8.2/build3/devel_ext3:
xo-1-olpc-stream-8.2-devel_ext3.img.bz2
Converted with qemu-img to a vmdk as per the instructions on 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/VMware/Convert.

At boot I get the message:
This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU:
3dnow
Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU.

The same procedure worked without any problems for update.1 build 708 
(aka 8.1.1).

I suppose this is caused by the switch from fc7 to fc9.
Any chance of generating devel images with a kernel which does boot on 
Intel (non AMD) CPUs?
If not, any hints on how to replace the kernel image in an ext3 devel image
with a custom built one?

I use this setup also to test/try collaboration between my real G1G1 XO and
one or more emulated XOs on my laptop, all on the same local network.

Many thanks in advance for any hints.
