Hi,
Inside VMware Fusion, I've started using:
- CentOS 5.1 x86_64
- kernel-vm-2.6.18-53.1.13.el5.x86_64.rpm from
Nice some people actually use them :)
- kmod-open-vm-tools-0-0.20080123.2.6.18_53.1.13.el5vm.x86_64.rpm from
http://people.centos.org/~hughesjr/open-vm-tools/5/x86_64/
Sometimes (most times) I get this error during boot:
"The VMware Tools poweron script did not run successfully in this virtual machine - If you have configured a custom poweron script in this virtual machine, please inspect it for errors; otherwise, please submit a support request."
That's a open-vm-tools issue. Could you try to remove open-vm-tools and use the vmware version to check whether it's kernel-vm or open-vm-tools related?
I don't have Fusion (hint :D )
On the plain vmware guest (CentOS-5 x86_64 desktop), suspend guest on vmware server VMware-server-1.0.4-56528.i386 works out of the box (no vmware-tools inside the guest).
This really isn't related to CentOS, but VMware, and definitely not a CentOS Developer topic.
It's should go to CentOS-virt (see you there).
You should redirect this question to the VMware forums.
You can open a bug entry for centos and one for vmware since it's a commercially supported product (if you ca duplicate it with the default vmware tools).
