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 http://people.centos.org/~tru/kernel-vm/5/RPMS/x86_64/ - 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."
A screenshot of this error can be seen in: http://www.scribd.com/doc/2228546/VMware-Fusion-error-running-CentOS-51-kern...
I don't know if this error is happening in VMware under Linux or Windows.
When I try to suspend the virtual machine (clicking on "Suspend Guest"), I get the error that can be seen in: http://www.scribd.com/doc/2232883/VMware-Fusion-running-CentOS-51-kernelvm-d...
If I may help debugging something, please tell me what to show you.

This really isn't related to CentOS, but VMware, and definitely not a CentOS Developer topic.
You should redirect this question to the VMware forums.
CentOS is the equivalent to RHEL and RHEL is fully supported so CentOS is too. It may have been an installation problem of the tools in the VM, but again you would get a better answer on the VMware forums.

I see, and at first sight I agree with you.
But since these problems only happens when using kernel-vm and kmod-open-vm-tools, which were compiled by CentOS-related people (look at the links I gave), and these RPM packages are being tested by CentOS-related people (like me and others), I suppose this may be of interest of somebody here. I only want to help.

Yes, and I should note that these problems don't happen when using vmware-tools from VMware Fusion.
Thank you, Ross, and I still believe that this problem may be of interest of somebody in centos-devel besides me =)

there is a centos-virt list, that also has vmware people and other's who are involved with the kernel-vm work, please take the conversation there

Nice some people actually use them :)

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).
Regards,
Tru

I have been using kernel-vm and open-vm-tools in VMware Server and Workstation (Linux) but have not encounter such problems. Looks like this is unique to VMware Fusion? From what you described, it seems to me that the issue is only with open-vm-tools not kernel-vm. Do you think this is the case?
You might want to report to the CentOS bug tracker or write to the centos-virt mailing list where the VM-related stuff is being discussed.
