Not happy. VMware tools funged.
Intrepid with fresh vmw 6.5.3.

Also complained about time and halted the Centros VM startup. And that did not start until after the upgrade.

Below is an excerpt from the the bazillion messages from the vmware tools failed upgrade.

Yeah, I can't get Ubuntu 9.04 to work either. It freezes VMX.
