Yuandan,
I had the same problem. For some reason some of the initscript soft
links weren't installed. Check to see if you have them all:
# cd /etc/rc0.d (also rc1.d ... rc6.d)
# ls -l *vm*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Mar 20 03:28 K08vmware -> /etc/rc.d/init.d/vmware
You should have K08vmware links in all rcX.d subdirectories except rc5.d
where you should have a link named S90vmware.
Hope this helps...
