I run VMware vSphere 4 Essentials with three almost identically configured ESXi 4.1 hosts and a mix of 32 and 64 bit guests including Windows 2003 and 2008 as well as CentOS 5 and 6. Recently I updated one of the hosts to build 800380. The new build runs Windows and CentOS 5 VMs fine, but CentOS 6 guests won't come up.
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
I've found what is probably your post on VMware Communities. http://communities.vmware.com/message/2112173?tstart=0
It seems there's a second 4.1 update 3 build (811144): http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd...
It fixes another panic, so trying this build may help. -- PR722061: When a Linux kernel crashes, the linux kexec feature is used to enable booting into a special kdump kernel and gathering crash dump files. An SMP Linux guest configured with kexec might cause the virtual machine to fail with a monitor panic during this reboot. Error messages such as the following might be logged:
vcpu-0| CPU reset: soft (mode 2) vcpu-0| MONITOR PANIC: vcpu-0:VMM fault 14: src=MONITOR rip=0xfffffffffc28c30d regs=0xfffffffffc008b50 --
