There shouldn't be anything strange about that line. From losetup -h:
losetup: invalid option -- h
usage:
  losetup loop_device                                       # give info
  losetup -d loop_device                                    # delete
  losetup -f                                                # find unused
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  losetup [-e encryption] [-o offset] {-f|loop_device} file # setup

So `losetup -f` should output the name of an unused /dev/loop/* device.
Can you please post the output of `losetup -f` here?

At least VMWare _should_ run fine from my experience. Did you configure your
X Server with

	# X -configure

?
