One thing I did do differently is leave the PS/2 keyboard in with the USB keyboard. My machine boots just fine with 6.0.2 installed as LONG as the PS/2 keyboard is plugged in. It does not seem to matter if a USB keyboard is plugged in or not in that case.

Even with the current build of 6.0.2 build 59824, the issue persists.

Seems of the blue tooth dongle has built in keyboard and mice profiles (such as the microsoft bt keyboard/mouse set), the system bsod's on first reboot after vmware installation.

It seems that I overcame this problem.

I have a Logitech MX5500 Wireless Kbd & Mouse, and having the same BSOD, even if I unplug the btooth dongle.

Here is the solution:

1. Oper Regedit

2. Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class{4D36E96B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

Here you have "UpperFilters" param of type REG_MULTI_SZ with a value like: "kbdclass vmkbd"

A driver name per line, notice that vmkbd by default is the last in the list.
Edit that parametter by putting vmkbd to be the first in the list.
Note that in some cases "vmkbd" can be named differently: vmkbd2, vmkbd3 - it does not matter, it is because you probably have installed a newer version of wmvare above old one or smth like that, and the previous driver was not able to be deletet from registry, anyway this does not change the idea.

3. Reboot and you should not have any BSOD now.
For me it worked, hope for you it will also.

Thanks in advance.
