Hi,

It appears to be corrected in Fusion 2 RC1 (Version 2.0rc1 (113392))
. Have you tried using that version? And if so, does it reboot after waking from sleep and using a VM? Thanks!

Ian.

I still experience the spontaneous reboot issue with a Vista 32 bit guest - most commonly when I try to wake up the host from sleep with the VM running. I infrequently experience reboots upon startup of the guest as well

Only had time to test a little today, but so far - same here: I can NOT reproduce the issue so far with RC1

Cheers,

HPReg — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:07:55 GMT

We have fixed the issue in internal builds. We are very close to making a new public refresh of Fusion 2.0, so we are not going to post binaries in the forum. As soon as the release is out, you guys (Ian, Terry, Daniel and others) probably want to check it out. Please let us know either way whether it fixes the problem for you or not. Thanks for all your help with debugging this issue so far. You guys are the pillars that allow us to make reliable products.

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro (& other) systems!

HPReg — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 12:45:38 GMT

We believe we have found the cause of the issue. We are re-building some binaries with what we believe is a fix for the issue. Once we are done, we will post them here for you guys to try them out. If the fix works, we will put it in the next publicly available build of Fusion 2.0.

Hi,

I confirmed 32-bit windows XP rebooted system after hibernation.

editted the*.vmx file to add: monitor.virtual_exec = "software"

put mac to sleep.

no reboot when mac was back up and vm was resumed. Recieved same error as Terry (see attached).

(64-bit guests still reboot the system with that option.)

Ian

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro (& other) systems!

terry.simons — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 17:31:29 GMT

Your suggestion appears to fix the problem.

Here's what I did:

Verified that reboot still occurs with 32-bit XP (it did).
Enabled monitor.virtual_exec = "software"
Opened the same 32-bit XP VM. No reboot occurred.

I got the following warning, which I assume is expected (and why you wanted us to test with 32-bit VMs):

Software virtualization is incompatible with long mode on Intel EM64T CPUs.

Virtual execution will begin in software mode, but will automatically switch to hardware mode if the guest enters long mode.

Terry

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro (& other) systems!

HPReg — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 16:32:57 GMT

Let's try to further isolate whether the issue in vmmon is related to VT or not:

1) Reproduce the spontaneous reboot issue with a _32_-bit VM.
2) Stick this line in the VM's config file: monitor.virtual_exec = "software"
3) Can you still reproduce the issue, or is the line in #2 a workaround for the issue?

Thanks for helping with the testing.

Same problem, early 2008 Mac Pro running 10.5.4 with 32bit Vista, bridged network. I think it even got worse when I upgraded from Beta 1 to Beta 2. Reloading vmmon seems to help!

I automated the workaround and published the necessary steps on my blog http://www.robertlacroix.com/cs/archive/2008/08/10/fixing-spontaneous-reboots-caused-by-vmware-fusion-2-beta.aspx

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro (& other) systems!

HPReg — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 10:28:39 GMT

Thanks Terry, Ian, and Daniel for identifying vmmon as the culprit (i.e. reloading vmmon after putting the machine to sleep works around the spontaneous reboot issue).

I'm going to share this with other engineers. If we don't find the problem, we will give you special instrumented versions of vmmon to pinpoint the issue even further.

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro (& other) systems!

dosers — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 20:14:24 GMT

AND, me three!!

I was finally able to find some time and try it as well!

Same thing, if vmmon is reloaded after the system has slept (i.e. before starting a vm - no matter if 32-bit or 64-bit, or NAT or Bridged), NO reboots.
If I except vmmon, reboots continue to occur.

Looks like we are finally making headway

Thx,
dan

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro (& other) systems!

I_C — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 15:53:21 GMT

I agree! Good work Terry!

I can confirm Terry's findings. Loading
and unloading all modules except for vmmon will result in a system
rebooting. If vmmon is reloaded after a system wakes from
sleep you will not get the reboot.

Ian

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro (& other) systems!

dosers — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 07:05:10 GMT

Terry,
this is some great troubleshooting, and I think you have us all beat so far
I can also confirm that the issue definitely is INdependant of 64-bit or 32-bit hosts; once a system has slept (versus fresh, when all is fine) the issue occurs with either.

I see the reboot on systems with either NAT or Bridged (have not tried host only).

I'll try to reproduce your findings tomorrow, but sounds promising!!

Cheers,
Dan

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro (& other) systems!

terry.simons — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 03:24:07 GMT

Definitely vmmon

First, I made sure that a boot.sh --reset would prevent the reboot. It did.

Next, I unloaded/loaded everyting EXCEPT vmmon, since I already suspected it from my log messages. This still caused my system to reboot!

Finally, I unloaded/loaded ONLY vmmon, to see if the reboot would occur. It did NOT.

So it seems that vmmon is our culprit. Next, I'll test 32-bit systems.

Update: Yes, it affects 32-bit systems as well. I tested XP 32-bit and Win2k3 Server Standard w/SP1.

All of the systems I tested were using the default NAT'd interface. I didn't try bridged mode.

Terry

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro (& other) systems!

terry.simons — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 03:01:07 GMT

I'm able to cause this as well.

Host:

2x4-core 2.8Ghz. 8GB of RAM.

Guest:

64-bit XP (fresh install).

Steps to reproduce:

Put system to sleep.

Wake system up.

Attempt to open XP 64-bit.

Note: Since this is a fresh install, I get a warning from VMware that I should install the VMWare tools. The reboot doesn't occur until after I click Ok. Specifically, after this: 8/8/08 8:43:06 PM kernel vmci: Open socket 0xbda2c44.

See the attached 64-bit crash log (yes, I was lucky enough to get logs).

This log is basically from the time I woke up, until I started the VM. The vmci: Open socket message mentioned above is the last thing I see before I click "Ok" in the guest's alert about wanting me to install the VMWare Tools.

I think that the reason some people aren't seeing logs is because the crash can occur before syslogd can flush the logging db to disk. The first time I triggered this I saw messages in console.app that weren't in my log after I rebooted. The second time around I had the trusty old command-option-shift-4-spacebar handy, though I double checked my logs again, and it caught some of the messages (I'm not sure if it caught them all). Hopefully this helps some.

One thing I noticed is the odd vmmon garbled garbage. I saw something similar (and have posted separately about it) when installing XP 64-bit. It almost looks like some weird memory corruption is going on, unless this is some wierd obfuscated blob of gunk, but generally when I see repeating patterns and nonsensical things surrounding it I get suspicious.

Terry

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro systems!

terry.simons — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 03:07:39 GMT

Yeah it's definitely casued by the sleep/wake/startup 64-bit.

I haven't tried a 32-bit system yet, but I did just try the --reset idea.

When using boot.sh --reset, my kexts all reload, but when I attempt to launch the 64-bit guest, it basically bombs out on me.

Looks like a lock was held on to last time I crash-rebooted my system... I'll have to see if I can recover from that.

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro (& other) systems!

HPReg — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 19:51:23 GMT

Let me know if you need more info.

I need more info so I can fix the bug in Fusion 2.0's final release See my previous post (above in this forum) on how to proceed to narrow down the cause of the issue. Thanks!

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro (& other) systems!

I_C — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 17:07:27 GMT

You are correct. On a fresh boot I do not get the reboot only on waking my mac from sleep (and for me it only happens with 64 bit guests and they can be suspended or powered off).

I stumbled across it when changing the nic settings in the boot.sh. I wanted to have vmware run on nic 2 on my mac pro as opposed to the default nic. In doing so I was constantly restarting the vmware services with the boot.sh. One evening I was playing around, went to my mac pro, woke it from sleep, editted the boot.sh file to mess with something. ran the "boot.sh --restart" command and it did not spontaneously reboot. That's when it clicked in my head.

I tested a few more time by putting the mac to sleep and waking it, then starting a VM (in my case any 64-bit vm). It spontaneously rebooted. When it came back up I put it to sleep, woke it, ran the "boot.sh --restart" and started the VM and there was no reboot.

So now whenever I wake the machine from sleep I run the "boot.sh --restart" command and it doesnt reboot the mac (that is when I remember to ;)). I suppose it could be automated so that whenever my mac wakes from sleep it runs the "boot.sh --restart", but i havent gotten to it yet.

So as you can see I stumbled upon it by chance. (For reference I am running a 2008 mac pro, leopard 10.5.4, blah blah blah.) Let me know if you need more info. Thanks!

dosers — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 16:57:39 GMT

Regis, etung,

the workaround does seem to work for me as well!! On all test machines (which were fine in 1.x, but had the reboot issue on beta 2) restarting the boot.sh fixes the problem on 'previously slept' machines (2 days into testing so far).
I also will try to narrow down the extension by way of the instructions HPReg is providing.

Cheers,
Dan

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro (& other) systems!

dosers — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 16:48:42 GMT

I C - still testing your workaround - may I ask how you came up with that?
Based on the assumption that on a fresh boot the crashes don't occur?

cheers

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro (& other) systems!

I_C — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 12:47:20 GMT

I will go through the boot.sh as you outlined this evening and see how it goes and post my results. Thanks!

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro (& other) systems!

HPReg — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 08:46:00 GMT

Folks, we are still unable to repro this issue at VMware (we tried hard). So we rely on you for the debugging.

Confirming that the "boot.sh --restart" workaround works for everybody (in particular dosers) would be very useful.

If it turns out it works, then the next step is to see which of our kernel extensions is responsible for this. To do so, you need to make a copy of boot.sh in the same directory, let's call it boot2.sh, and modify boot2.sh so that it only reloads one kernel extension at a time: i.e. first try by commenting out all kextload/kextunload commands except for vmmon.kext. Now use boot2.sh --restart. Does it workaround the problem? If yes, then we know that the vmmon kext is guilty. If it does not solve the problem, then move to the next kext: commenting out all kextload/kextunload commands except for vmci.kext. And so on and so forth. After this experiment, we will know which kext is guilty.

Thanks for helping us help you.

dosers — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 07:33:57 GMT

So,
not conclusive yet (for me) as I only had a chance to try this a few times tonight - but sure thing, SO FAR, I have not had any spontaneous reboots on machines that were not 'fresh' (i.e. that previously slept, which seems to be the trigger for the crashes!), after restarting boot.sh with sudo....
So, I am, too, cautiously optimistic, this might be a working temp fix for the issue we have had ever since beta 2.....

Hi there,
just to re-iterate, the issue is also still happening to me (I created the thread); on 3 seperate Mac Pro's, using beta 2 (no diff from beta 1).

I'm on a 2008 Mac Pro, OS X 10.5.4. Both machines (boot camp on a separate SATA drive and VM on the local OS X drive, no RAID anywhere) cause the problem and both are setup for Bridged networking.

I'll try the boot.sh workaround tonight and let you know if it works.

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro (& other) systems!

etung — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 16:05:24 GMT

Interesting!

What network mode are you all using (NAT/Bridged/etc.)? What version of OS X?

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro (& other) systems!

bkirby — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 15:52:57 GMT

The workaround fixes the issue for me.

I have 2 VM's, one XP Media Center Edition, one XP Pro, both 32-bit. If I bring my MacPro out of sleep, and then attempt to resume either suspended VM, the whole machine restarts hard. This is 100% reproducable by sleeping the machine and resuming. After that, resuming any suspended VM crashes.

I don't see any crashes if I run the workaround after the MacPro wakes up.

Bill

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro (& other) systems!

etung — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 03:01:19 GMT

o.O

Can people who are seeing this test if I_C's boot.sh hypothesis true, or merely a coincidince? If true, it would help narrow down the search.

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro (& other) systems!

JeFurry — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 08:22:47 GMT

I'm using a 32-bit Windows XP SP3 VM, created with a slipstreamed SP3 installation CD under VMWare 2.0 beta 1 (now upgraded to beta 2), and I'm getting the instant reboots on my one month old 8-core Mac Pro running 10.5.4 patched up to date.

If I put the system to sleep with the VM running, waking from sleep goes almost immediately to a restart instead of resuming (after a few seconds delay with a blank screen, which is presumably while it's waking from sleep then triggering the restart). If I suspend the VM and put the Mac to sleep, it seems to wake from sleep correctly and operate normally, but when I later attempt to resume the VM, I immediately get a restart as mentioned above - no kernel panic, no diagnostic logs... just a sudden blank screen and reboot.

In both cases, after the reboot, the VM is in a "powered off" state, which suggests it did actually resume and change state before the host machine restarted.

I'm happy to run further tests if needed, as time permits.

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro (& other) systems!

I_C — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 01:41:05 GMT

As a cheap work around you can:

sudo /Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Fusion/boot.sh --restart

and it wont reboot your machine when you power on a vm after waking from sleep. But having to remember to always do that is annoying.

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro (& other) systems!

XianPalin — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 00:32:58 GMT

For the record, and to bump this back up to the top, I am randomly having this problem as well, both in Fusion 2b1 and Fusion 2b2, where my Mac Pro sometimes does a hard reboot when I try and open a Virtual Machine, whether it's Boot Camp (Vista 64-bit), or a VM (Xp 32-bit). I did not have this problem with Fusion 1.

I haven't tested to see whether or not it's related to my machine being asleep (I do put the machine to sleep at night, but always close VMware first), but it is quite annoying.

Hi,
we haven't had a chance yet, but starting tomorrow we'll try to start 32-bit OS up exclusively on the 3 Mac Pros we have 2.0 installed on to see if it does still, or no longer occurs with starting a 32bit Guest OS.

Thank you for picking this up and filing a bug report on it.

Wow, that's kind of scary (especially with all the other people seeing this). I've filed PR 285962 about this.

If anyone's not using a 64-bit guest and is hitting this, that would be useful to know.

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro systems!

I_C — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 01:52:48 GMT

I have repeated the wake from sleep spontaneous reboot a few times to make sure it wasn't my imagination It could be anything, usb device waking up, time machine backup running after waking... At least that is what is happening when the vm is coming online just before it reboots on mine. I'll look at it more tomorrow.

Interesting that you mentioned this. I suspected I might be getting the spontaneous reboots after waking my Mac Pro from sleep then starting my 64-bit Vista VM - but I was not sufficiently sure of this that I was ready to report it as a potential relationship. Interestingly, I just had awakened my Mac from sleep immediately prior reading your message. So, I started Fusion 2b1 right away and attempted to power on my VM; and sure enough, a spontaneous reboot!

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro systems!

It happened to me when I tried to start windows XP and Ubuntu 64-bit. In both cases I had entourage running and I thought that it was contributing to the reboot but I wasn't able to reproduce it.

I have a mac pro (early 2008) running OSX 10.5.3

An luck switching to 32bit guest?

Re: Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro systems!

Is it possible that the people having crashes are all running 64bit guests? Just curious.
Also, I have only tried to run a single VM so far on this beta.

Update: I don't know if this will help anyone but here is more about my configuration.
Early model Mac Pro with 2 quad core 2.66GHz processors and 16GB memory
3 Nvidia 7300GT video cards with 256MB ram each and 6 monitors attached.
Running a single vm with WinXP32 guest OS on the OS X system drive.

I have started and exited Fusion a few times, and rebooted the guest OS a few times. I have used the guest in unity mode across all 6 screens but have not tried to play with Spaces. I have NOT rebooted OS X since prior to upgrading from the latest production version of Fusion to the beta.

Still no crashes.

Hm... interesting thought.
In our case, yes, so far this has happened when starting 64bit guest only (Windows Vista, Solaris, Fedora). We have XP 32bit, I'll test that to see if it occurs there as well.....

Dup post, was having attachment issues, looks like .log isn't accepted, renamed to .txt and attached to prior post.

Same issue here, machine just hard resets when starting to boot Vista SP1 64 bit off a second hard drive in an early 2008 Mac Pro. 6GB RAM, 8800 GT here, with 10.5.3 and all the firmware updates applied as of 5/31.

Attached is the VMWare log running in debug mode when it happened. With the harshness of the restart, I'm not sure this is everything though. Also a second attachment from console app set to show all messages around that time. Note the restart happened around 12:59:24ish, the 13:00 entry is when the machine was rebooting back into OS X.

Hexed,
I think you are just 'lucky', or we haven't found the reason why this reboot occurs on our systems (and the other posters on this board) versus yours.
But 10.5.3 does NOT appear to be the culprit, as the issues occurred, in about the same frequency with 10.5.2 as well as after upgrading to 10.5.3!

We have no problems with 10.5.3 per se.

I am running a MAC Pro with 10.5.2 and WinXP 32 bit on 6 screens in unity mode and have had no real problems. I guess I won't upgrade to 10.5.3 anytime soon.

Fusion 2 beta 1 has caused several reboots, all (so far) during the boot-up process of guest systems (at varying times in the process, and regardless of type of guest OS) on 2 early 2008 Mac Pro systems we are testing on.
Both systems have (had) no problems with 1.1.2.
Crashes are immediate (no kernel panic), and the system reboots entirely, leaving little or no trace in the console log. Fusion is running on non-raided drive. VMs are on Raid 0 (OS provided) drive(s), but only ONE is started at a time (hence not the same as an earlier issues stated with Raid drives). We have upgraded both system from 10.5.2 to 10.5.3 and the problem remains, at about the same frequency.
Both system are Mac Pro 3.2Ghz (8 core) with 16GB Ram.

Chuck,
thanks for posting.

While apparently not universal, this does seem to be a 'common' problem then in the beta, across hardware.

VMware ?!

Same issue here. Starting the the Windows Vista x64 VM occasionally causes reboots.

Running Fusion 2b1 on an early 2008 Mac Pro OS 10.5.3, happened with OS 10.5.2 as well. The VM is on a SATA drive all by itself (no raid).

To answer you previous question (looks like you've edited it); yes, we did see this with 10.5.2. We only installed 10.5.3 (combo) on both systems yesterday. As far as we can tell, the frequency of this happening has NOT changed, that is, it occured with 10.5.2 and still does with 10.5.3, so seems independant of it. I also just got a report of it happening on a 3rd system; the notable difference being this system not using RAID 0 on it's VM drive.
All 3 systems had no problems with 1.1.2 (on 10.5.2 or earlier).

Hi,

Same here on an iMac Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz, 3 GB running Mac OS X 10.5.3.
