Just installed CentOS 5.8 on a VM using VMware Fusion 3.1.4 on my MB Mac OS X 10.7.4 and have the following problem. CentOS finished to install and re-start. The result, a nice black screen. I rebooted CentOS (on the VM) no success. I rebooted VMware Fusion, no success. I rebooted the whole machine (physical machine) no success.
Is there anywhere VMware Fusion log booting errors I can investigate why I have this annoying black screen?
VMware Fusion logs errors in the virtual machine’s bundle.
So, for example, if your virtual machine appears on your hard disk on the desktop as:
myvm
you will find it in Terminal at:
… myvm.vmwarevm
then:
you will see:
vmware.log
(and maybe vmware-0.log, etc, which will be older logs; vmware-0 being second most recent, vmware-1 being third most recent.)
A very late answer, but hope that is some help.
