Debian on vmware

[IntSar_Dev]

Hi All,

I get the following errors when I restart my debian machine on Vmware and Sytstem could not be started :

Failed to start network time synchronization

failed to start update utmp about system boot/shutdown

debian failed to start hostname service

How can resolve these errors ? I don't take any backups before getting that .Please advise.

Thanks.

Need basic info:

Host OS? 

Workstation Version?

Guest OS version?

Do you have VMware Tools installed?  And is it the OpenVMTools package, or the official VMware one from Workstation?

[IntSar_Dev]

Host OS:Debian 6

Workstation 9.0 virtual machine

Guest OS :Linux

Yes, VMware workstation is installed and it's from the site.

Boot your Debian into single user mode and check the filesystem.
Are you sure that the VM has its nics connected when you boot it ?

[IntSar_Dev]

Yes, VM is connected when I try to power on .I get the same error with the recovery mode also.

I did not mean to boot into "recovery mode"
Use the "c" option instead.

I try using the below link:

you should boot your Debian, into the single user mode and check again the file system.
