Damn, I messed up the git tags so I wasn't looking at an accurate list
of changes between -pre1 and -pre2.

Your error is likely being triggered by the recent kernel changes. For
x86-64 we now try to boot a Linux kernel via the 32-bit entry point.
It's possible that code doesn't work correctly with vmware.

Could you grab -pre10 and change the APPEND argument for your debug.c32
line to,

   APPEND -e efi_boot_linux handover_boot valid_pecoff_image

which should hopefully print some info from the kernel boot paths.
