Hi,
Inside VMware Fusion 1.1.1, I have a virtual machine running CentOS 5.1 x86_64 with: - 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/
First problem:
Sometimes (most times) I get this error during boot (first error):
"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...
This problem is very strange, it doesn't happen on every boot, and usually when I boot another kernel (like change kernel-vm to "kernel-default" or back) it disappears and only appears again after some reboots using the kernel-vm.
I don't know a safe path to reproduce this bug, and I also don't know for sure if it only happens with kernel-vm.
Second problem:
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...
When I try to suspend again, it gives no error and suspends, but when it resumes it gives the error that can be seen in: http://www.scribd.com/doc/2233720/CentOS-51-in-VMware-Fusion-resuming-from-s...
The second problem also happens when using: - kernel-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 (default kernel) - kmod-open-vm-tools-0-0.20080123.2.6.18_53.1.13.el5vm.x86_64.rpm
The second problem does *not* happen when using: - kernel-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 (default kernel) or kernel-vm-2.6.18-53.1.13.el5.x86_64.rpm - default vmware-tools (which comes with VMware Fusion 1.1.1).
So it might be a problem in kmod-open-vm-tools.
If I may help debugging something, please tell me what to show you.
