It works, but... things break. The guest lost network, and rcnetwork fails to get an IP. I have seen an Oops flashing by, which I will not bother to report, as the kernel chaps here do not want to look at anything related to vmware.
Actually - if it is inside the guest, the kernel hackers will look at it... :-)
If I need to hibernate the guest, I'll use vmware suspend instead of guest suspend. It is safer and works. Testing the guest hibernation was just that, a test, to check what things I could test on a virtual environment instead of a real one.
It's actually a valid test and I appreciate the testing and the bugreport! I'll look into the issue with the serial console. It is possible that it just does not work and is not easy to fix, then I might decide to "wontfix" it. It might also be that it is fixable, I don't know yet. ..at least suddenly the "strange" error message makes much more sense now ;) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
