Has anyone else seen the following error on VMware Workstation 6.5b
(build 91182) when trying to launch a virtual machine?

================================================
VMware Workstation unrecoverable error: (vcpu-0)
VCPU 0 RunVM failed: Operation not permitted.
A log file is available in "/opt/Virtual Machines/Windows XP
Professional Test/vmware.log". A core file is available in "/<path to
virtual machine>/core.#####". Please request support and include the
contents of the log file and core file.
To collect data to submit to VMware support, select Help > About and
click "Collect Support Data". You can also run the "vm-support" script
in the Workstation folder directly.
We will respond on the basis of your support entitlement.

Unable to change virtual machine power state: Cannot find a valid peer
process to connect to.
================================================

Not sure what the problem is. Running on a Quad-core Intel with 4GB RAM,
plus the latest F9 kernel and patches. Ideas welcome...


what does the log have to say?

It's pretty long, and very routine.

Here's what appears to be the key message though:
Jun 10 14:38:26.427: vcpu-0| VCPU 0 RunVM failed: Operation not
permitted.
Jun 10 14:38:26.427: vcpu-0| Panic: can't get userlevel lock.

After that, there are no other errors in the log.

I'll do the VM Support Script and see what happens there as well...

Cheers,

Chris
