Ubuntu 18.10 guest with Workstation 15

Ubuntu 18.10 is out. Anybody give it a try?

Installed Ubuntu 18.10 x64 guest and it works fine, at first. After the second or third reboot I get a blank screen on bootup. Once it goes sideways there is no getting it back. Even rolling back to a snapshot doesn't get it back.

Happens with no tools installed, vmware tools installed, or open vmware tools installed. Happens if I do updates or don't do updates. There doesn't seem to be a pattern other than a black screen on bootup after a couple of reboots.
