ob es genau da passiert ist, da ich die VM ein paar Wochen nicht gebraucht habe.
Diese Fehlermeldungen kommen:
"The virtual machine is unable to reserve memory. If selecting Retry does not work, try closing programs on the host machine to free memory first."
"Could not lock 4096 bytes of memory at 7F9EB42CE000 (page 7F9EB42CE000)."
Die VM sollte auf einem 2.6.39.4 Kernel laufen. Das Bauen der Module hat geklappt.
Die Distri ist Debian Squeeze, allerdings mit neuerem Kernel.
Zurückzugehen auf den alten kernel (2.6.38.2), auf dem vmplayer bisher lief hat leider nichts gebracht. Die VM module habe ich zum Ausprobieren neu gebaut.
Der Fehler hat auch nichts mit dem VM Gast zu tun. Einfach einen neuen Gast erzeugen und starten reicht schon. Egal welches Betriebssytem.
Ich habe den VMPlayer sogar schon deinstalliert, alle verbleibenden Files gelöscht und
neu installert. Erfolglos

Rumgoogln hat leider nichts geholfen.
Hat jemand von Euch eine Idee? Ich weiß nicht mehr weiter
Unten ein Teil vom Logfile
Danke schon mal und Grüße,
Manfred
