Aha. I think it had been to sleep overnight last night, so I guess that's the problem. Good they're on top of it!

Thanks!

Before running this virtual machine, had you put your Mac to sleep? If so, I'm thinking this might be the problem in Fusion 2b1 causing spontaneous reboots (no kernel panic) on Mac Pro (& other) systems! which has been fixed internally.

If not, are you using RAID?

I've been playing around with this beta mostly out of curiosity, but today I was actually gonna use it for a purpose (some cross-platform web design testing) and it completely killed my computer. This is the second time this has happened in the past couple of days.

I open Fusion, start the machine, it asks for my password to dismount the boot camp partition and the VMware logo comes up in the window in grey and black, looking very DOS, with the progress bar beneath it moving. All of a sudden after that the whole computer restarts itself without warning- everything turns off then it boots itself up like a normal restart or bootup.

I'm running 2.0b2 on OS X 10.5.4, on my Mac Pro (Jan 2008) 2x 2.8 Quad-core Xeon. it has 6GB of ram and 3 HDs. I use two screens but was running Fusion in normal windowed mode, on one of the displays only. The boot camp / windows partition I use is NOT on the startup HD. I did have several other apps (such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Mail, Safari, iChat, iTunes, Acrobat, BBEdit) running both times this has happened (and will probably find out in the next couple days I have lost some stuff from this! That'll teach me to not save things regularly).

As this is the beta I guess you're meant to report issues like this, and I guess this is the place to do it, so there you have it!
