Dusan,

I have similar one - Phenom 2x6 1055T + 890GX chipset.(MSI 890GXM-G65)
And I have tried OSOL 134 running on VMware ESXi 4.1 on 1055T + 880G 
chipset(GIGABYTE GA-880GM-USB3) ,It doesn't work,LiveCD stops while 
booting (workaround is decreasing vCPU core (6→2) editting VM 
settings,and after installing,re-increasing vCPU core (2→6).

Anyway let me check this weekend.(perhaps I will try 1055T+880G)

Thanks,
