D3 Linux on VMWare Server ?

As part of server consolidation we are being asked (forced) to rehost 
our D3 Linux 7.4.2 server on a VMware virtual machine.

Now, performance isn't a huge deal since our machine is currently very 
under utilized.

I did a quick try here and could not get it to install (complained about 
the partition table). Not sure if this was a VM problem or mine.

Has anyone successfully run D3 on a VMware Linux virtual machine ?
Experiences ?
