RTLinux+Debian+VMWare

Please help!

I tried to use RTLinux in the following configuration:
1. VMWare Workstation 4.0.1 build 5289, host machine is Windows XP, Intel 
Celeron
2. Virtual machine is Debian GNU/Linux sarge, kernel 2.4.24(sources 
installed as debian package, not from kernel.org), rtlinux patch 
2.4.24 from ftp://ftp.rtlinux.at/pub/rtlinux/contrib/hofrat applied, no 
other patches
3. RTLinux 3.2 pre 3 from ftp://ftp.rtlinux.at/.../contrib

Configured, compiled linux kernel ok. (Config detailes: Celeron(not 
Coppermine), no SMP, no APIC, Buslogic SCSI, AMD PCNet network, kernel 
level DHCP, all other options - minimal features installed, no modules - 
all built in kernel)
Rebooted, accepted default rtlinux configuration
make xconfig, make dep, make, make install went ok with a few warnings(no 
errors)

BTW: rtsock compiled with errors - switched it off

There was a warning: make[1]: no rules to build target 'mutex_timed.o', 
stop
when both 'make' and 'make install'

Then trying to run 'make regression', got: rtl multiple loads test ok, 
then virtual 
machine hangs when trying multiple loads of rtl_time (on reboot fsck 
report file system errors). Host task manager shows 97% processor load 
that time. Looking at init_module() in rtl_time shown some calls to spin 
locks - maybe this is the cause?

Then I tried to load modules mainually in this sequence:
1. 'insmod mbuff' says module will taint the kernel (then i found that 
loading mbuff did not affect rtl.o)
2. 'insmod rtl' - loads ok
3. 'insmod rtl_time' hangs up virtual machine

Please tell me, what may be the cause of hang up when loading rtl_time and 

how can i fix it?
And how can i do some trace/debug in this situation?
