An unexpected error was received from the ESX host while powering on VM

A realy "helpful" error from client connected VC as well as ESXi itself:

An unexpected error was received from the ESX host while powering on VM vm-38

Or if I try to start it from console with vim-cmd vmsvc/power.on 82

I get just a single message Power on VM failed

No matter what, this VM will not start unless...

/sbin.services.sh restart

Clears the problem instantly, but surely that is not a solution?

ESXi 5.0.0,504890

I can not find any more info about the errror in any logs on ESXi itself

Same happens with latest 5.0.0, 515841

But all it takes is /etc/init.d/hostd restart

Surely not RIGHT!
