all previous versions of ubuntu work fine on vmware.

i had same problem. solution modify vm config file , disable cpu id masking. found solution on youtube video.

  1. edit ubuntu vm configuration file (.vmx)

  2. add following line

    cpuid.1.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:1010:0101" 
  3. save configuration file
