Player crash on Fedora Core 12
I run a Fedora Core 12 distribution with a 2.6.31 SMP x86_64 kernel.
I installed the latest VMware Player 3. The VMware service starts properly on boot and all VMware kernel modules are loaded properly too:
vmnet 45756 13
vmblock 15032 1
vmci 54936 1 vsock
vmmon 78252 0
dmesg:

However, when I start VMware Player the process crashes down, e.g. I don't even get as far as seeing any windows.
In /var/log/messages I can only see this:

Any idea what the problem could be, or how I can find out more about what the problem could be? I don't know what other logs I can look at. I have been running VMware workstation on this machine before, and that was running absolutely fine.

I'm using F12/64 as well. My dmesg/logs look nearly the same as yours. I also have EMT64, Virtualization, and Speed Stepping enabled in the bios. Up to this point it seems the only difference between us is that I've disabled IPv6:

I've been all through the install docs, release notes, this forum and others. I'm seeing the issue but not the solution.
What was the cure for this by the way?

I finaly found the answer that helped me. This post here cleared it all up:
So, to recap, I've disabled IPv6, retested = no love.
I put SELinux into permissive mode, retested, no love. (Reply #2 from the above link)
I moved the mozilla .crt file to *crt.old, retested = now it works.
mv /usr/lib/vmware/resources/mozilla-root-certs.crt /usr/lib/vmware/resources/mozilla-root-certs.crt.old

I'm not sure if it was just the last step that fixed the problem or a combination of the 3 or maby just 2. If someone can positively answer that question they will save many new users much research time.
