I tried two different CentOS 6 VMs. Both have the latest standard kernel (2.6.32-279.5.2.el6.x86_64). Both run perfectly fine on one of the other VMware hosts still running ESXi 4.1.0 build 702113. On build 800380, both display the GRUB menu alright but freeze immediately afterwards, emitting the message

from here, it appears to be a hardware or vmware issue.
I tend to exclude hardware issues. The host in question was working fine before the update.
NOTHING the guest OS does should crash the hypervisor.
Perhaps I wasn't quite clear. It's the guest OS that panics. The hypervisor continues quite unperturbed by its guest's fate.
Thanks, Tilman
