I performed a fresh install of F11, then installed
VMware-Workstation-6.5.2-156735.x86_64.rpm. Installed the patch for
kernel-2.6.29 from http://communities.vmware.com/thread/203231. Now,
when I try to start a VM, I get a message that the .vmdk file can't be
found. The message pop-up lets me browse to the location of the file.
File not found: xxx.vmdk
This file is required to power on the virtual machine. If this
file was moved, please provide its new location.
But the file has not been moved, and when I select the file from the
browser, VMware still refuses to start.
Turning selinux to non-enforcing doesn't help. Problem occurs with
Workstation and Player. Everything worked fine with F10, including with
a 2.6.29 test kernel.
Anybody seen this? Anybody know a solution?
TIA.
