PostPosted: Sun Jun 01, 2008 5:12 am    Post subject: Repeated kernel oops by snhelper process Reply with quote

I wonder if someone else is seeing these issues with vmware-server-1.0.5, gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r4. I get a kernel oops in the snhelper process (snapshot helper process) once in a while while starting the /etc/init.d/vmware.

Code:

I have re-emerged the vmware-server without help. The snapshots are disabled on all the virtual machines. The filesystem on which these VMs reside have been checked several times and there are no errors there.

Any ideas?
