I'm running VMware Fusion version 11.0.2 (10952296) on:
- macOS Mojave 10.14.3 (18D109)
- MacBook Pro 13inch, 2018
- Fedora 29 guest
This setup was working just fine until I pulled the latest kernel (4.20.12-200.fc29.x86_64). Fedora gets stuck late in the graphical boot process (with the fedora icon progress meter halfway filled up) and pegs the CPU. Fortunately, I can get around the hang by removing the rhgb option in the kernel command line in grub.
The concerning thing, however, is that when it does hang, I try to reboot or shutdown the VM from the fusion menu, and the operation never succeeds. I can't retry the operation as then the menu items are grayed out. The only way to get around it is to kill the vmware-vmx process directly. The shutdown/reboot then proceeds.
