I have the same problem on a physical machine at home. Usplash loads until the bar is filled, and then the booting stops. If I press Alt-F7 Xorg begins to load, it does not load in the background while I wait for usplash to finish. So this is not a problem with Vmware! On the vmware image I had "upstart" running, on the physical machine I first still had the old "init" system.
