VMWare hiccup on CentOS 5, 2.6.18-8.1.8

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



For reasons which escape me, my VMWare Server, which was working perfectly a week ago when I shut down my machine for vacation, no loner comes up with the formerly working Windows XP system - it just stays in the small window where it normally boots and does nothing.

The vmware serverd log shows nothing particularly interesting, and I have reconfigured the vmware twice to try and fix this (which interestingly enough could not find the vmware modules for my os either time).

I am running CentOS 5.0 with all the latest updates through this morning, plus a 2.6.18-8.1.8 kernel with NTFS file system support compiled in as a module, and vmware server shows this:

$ vmware -v
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)
VMware Server 1.0.3 build-44356

(Not sure what that note about libpng12 means....)

Here is the server log's tail:

Jul 30 17:57:48: app| SP: Retrieved username: mhr

Jul 30 17:57:55: app| Connected to /F/vmware/Windows XP Professional/Windows XP Professional.vmx

It is now 18:43 and the window is still hung.

Any suggestions or clues?  This is the first glitch I've had with vmware server on CentOS 5.


Thanks.
