guys on vmware 4 on mandrake 9.1 when it asked me for the lspci file i substituted it with /bin/ls (since lspci doesnt exist) anyways vmware started up, whenever i am installing windows xp pro on the virtual machine it just freezes and all u see is the computer load for several minutes and more and more :( wat do i do?

ls lists the directory, lspci shows what is in the pci slots. They have nothing at all to do with each other. This could be part of your problem. Try installing lspci and reconfigure vmware. What do you mean "it just freezes and all u see is the computer load for several minutes and more and more" ?

lspci is file(which is not installed on mandrake 9.1) not a command! what i mean is as soon as it gets to that particular time in the installation it basically freezes

I have no idea what is installing that asks for "lspci".
Here is my output of lspci

I need a more precise explanationof your problem, or maybe someone else knows what you are talking about.

Maybe we sould try installing lspci, perhaps?

A google search shows that lspci is a part of the pciutils program.

This can be downloaded from the ever popular www.rpmfind.net here : http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=pciutils&submit=Search+...

It's worth a shot...
