Unable to Power On virtual machine with “A General System error occurred: Internal error”

Has anyone seen this problem before on 3.5 Build 110268...

We were getting the error 'Unable to Power On virtual machine with "A General System error occurred: Internal error"' when trying to power up new machines on a host. We realised that the system clock was 6 hours faster than the hw clock and as soon as we had synced them powering up VM's was no longer an issue.

Obvioulsy the clocks shouldn't have been out of sync but I'm sure I've seen the clocks out of sync before and not had problems powering up VM's.

Might want to check patch notes, I think one of the patches addresses this... you should be at build 120512
