Hi there, VMware here... We're able to repro this and have the following temporary workaround while we figure out who's code needs adjusting:
We are able to boot by adding: acpi=force to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in: /etc/default/grub Such that the full line reads: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=force" Remember to also disable Wayland (which is not presently supported in this Fusion tech preview) in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf by uncommenting WaylandEnable=false. When it's in the unresponsive state it still boots so ssh works... you can check /proc/iomem and it seems like the PCI memory is already reserved for BOOTFB.. Not working state: 50000000-7fffffff : pcie@0x40000000 78000000-7fffffff : 0000:00:0f.0 78000000-782fffff : BOOTFB Working state: (i.e. with acpi=force) 50000000-7fffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00 50000000-501fffff : PCI Bus 0000:20 50200000-503fffff : PCI Bus 0000:21 50400000-505fffff : PCI Bus 0000:21 78000000-782fffff : BOOTFB We have an internal bug filed so I'll update if we have more we can share.
