panic soon after system wake with Fusion 1.1 on iMac5,2 with 10.5.1

Hello. I Apple Menu/Sleep with VMware Fusion 1.1 (build 62573) running XPSP2 with VMware Tools 7.6.2. When I wake the following morning, I often receive a kernel panic within a couple of minutes:

Tue Nov 27 09:19:29 2007

panic(cpu 0 caller 0x004014A4): "IOPageableMapForAddress: null"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1228.0.2/iokit/Kernel/IOLib.cpp:724

I have attached the system.log. kextstat reveals the only non-Apple kexts are the four vmware ones. Brother's ControlCenter, Butler, Growl, AppTrap and Vine Server are always running, in case that's relevant. No FileVault, no Time Machine, no virus scanners installed. A similar panic log exists in message 783951.

This problem also occurred with 1.1rc1, which I upgraded to at the same time as moving to Leopard, starting with 10.5.0. I don't recall similar problem with 1.0 under 10.4.10. I don't remember having the panic except in the first few minutes after a system wake from sleep. pmset hibernatemode is 0.

Should I turn on debugging and supply other files next time it happens?

Thanks.

can you uninstall the VMware Fusion complately and reinstall and check

once you uninstall fusion delete following files and reinstall

1) Delete the folder: Hard Disk/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion

2) Folder/Library/Preferences/com.vmware.fusion.plist

3) Delete the folder: Home folder/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it, but got another panic on the second wakeup with a fresh install - this time after 25 minutes of usage. Panic log similar:

We haven't figured this out yet, but it sounds similar to .

Have you ever seen it happen when you do not sleep/wakeup at all when you are running the VM? Most of these failures reported by users are on laptop machines, so I'm wondering if sleep/wakeup is a necessary condition for the problem to occur. We are never been to reproduce this particular issue in-house, and it frustrates us Smiley Sad

Late response (sorry!), but no, only ever seen it on wakeup, if went to sleep while the VM was running. I don't really sleep the box much any more but I'll shout when I get round to using Fusion 2.0 properly if it re-occurs. You mention laptops.. my iMac is the GMA950-based educational one, which is probably nearer to the Mini/MacBook than your average iMac. Send patched mach_kernels out to people to do intensive logging? Smiley Wink
