At least abrt doesn't except my bugzilla account in fc16, so i do it manualy

Comment 1 Josh Boyer 2011-09-06 13:05:20 UTC
Can you recreate this issue outside without using VMWare?

Comment 2 Chuck Ebbert 2011-09-12 15:01:19 UTC
This is almost certainly a bug in vmhgfs... and since vmhgfs is in the stack trace it would be impossible to recreate the bug without it.

Comment 3 Wolfgang Ulbrich 2011-10-12 12:14:51 UTC
Sorry for late answering for my regrest, because i'm working outside from my home the last month.

Chuck you're right, this bug happens only in VMware Workstion.
In a real fc16 beta installation i've no kernel bug.

In VMware Workstion 8 there is a problem to install the vmware guest addons with kernel-3.1 for the moment. The vmhgfs modul failed to build.
