VMware tools on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5

I am running vSphere 4 (vCenter 4 with ESX 4) and have a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 VM. The I have installed VMware tools on this VM. The summary tab in vCenter shows the VMware tools status is OK. When I try to migrate the VM to another host I get the following: "No guest OS heartbeats are being received. Either the guest OS is not responding or VMware tools is not configured properly."

Issue resolved.

Logged into the VM and switched to run level 3. Once the gui was disabled and I re-ran the VMware tools install and went to run level 5 the issue was resolved.
