Currently if a user tries to install VMware-Workstation-6.5.0-xxxxxx.x86_64.rpm on SLE 11 (SLED/SLES 11 64 bit), the installation of VMware goes through fine, but if user tries to launch the VMware workstation it fails.
When a user tries to start the application through the icon shortcut, it brings up a taskbar, but after a few seconds, it closes with no windows or error messages.

Hello,
I have vmware server 2 installed in SuSE 10.1 and has some Linux and a windows running as vm machine.
Couple days ago, I powered off.
After power I found that some of the vm machines can't power on properly. they all stop at 95%, and in event show :
Failed to power on: A general system error occurred.
And following is logs from the /var/log/vmware:
