What I found was that /var/log/messages reported that VMware couldn't get a lock on VT because it was already in use by something else... Solution: Uninstall all other things virtualization on the box. I still had some KVM/QEMU components lying around. That said, it doesn't make sense to me because I have a full KVM/QEMU installation running on my laptop with the same F9 setup. Workstation works there with no issues. ...So now the question is why will VMware Workstation and KVM live together happily on one system but not the other?... I'll keep digging.
