ryath Aug 11, 2008 6:31 PM (in response to ufo8mydog)I am also suffering this problem. Just setup 1 new server, ESX 3.5 Update 2 and configurd the basics and boom internal error. I setup a HP server last week, VM's ran fine. Now its internal error.
Time is correct on both.
License is trial with at least 40 days left on both.
So yeah no idea.

ufo8mydog Aug 11, 2008 7:01 PM (in response to mattjk)Hi there,
That was exactly the problem, thanks for that. As soon as i changed the time back to Aug 10 and turned off NTP everything turned back to normal.
I can imagine that a lot of people would be affected by this bug!

c1nt4x3rr0r Aug 11, 2008 7:11 PM (in response to ufo8mydog)I too am having this error, and it started this morning. I have 5 ESXi hosts, all licensed, all exhibiting the same behavior. If I set the time back (a few days) on the host using the VIC, I am then able to start up my clients.
I called Support, but since I didn't have a valid contract I was shot down.
This is a great product, but if VMware won't help me with something that's obviously broken without charging me $1200, then I'll probably have to switch to Hyper-V. I've already got all the licensing and support for it...

Gonecase Aug 11, 2008 8:30 PM (in response to ufo8mydog)This is some bug in ESX 3.5 U 2. The workaround for the moment is to stop NTP service and change the date of the system to anything before 12th Aug. And wait for the patch/fix from VMware

10. Re: A general system error occurred: Internal Error
Rumple Aug 11, 2008 10:33 PM (in response to Gonecase)They have obviously coded the date function incorrectly (probably like a CDN region) where the first number is day, second is month and so as soon as the 13th month rolls around it pukes...
I usually see it with american software when someone decides that they should run their computer with the Canadian region and half their apps fall down and go boom...
