ASSERT, Monitor Panic and NOT IMPLEMENTED Errors
Details
When I try to run VMware software, I get an error message that
mentions ASSERT, Monitor Panic or some other fatal error (but the
fatal error does not include a bug number).
Solution
If you encounter one of these, you have run the virtual machine
in a situation it was never meant to handle. It detected that and
failed. If you encounter such a problem, please request support (atwww.vmware.com/requestsupport). The failure
mode is, in general, either a brief message like NOT IMPLEMENTED or
ASSERT along with a file coding like F(123):456, or else appears
with an offset like "Assert failed at 0x987654." In
either case, please include the log and core files (if a core was
generated) along with the support request. Look for files named
either vmware-log and vmware-core or .log where is the name you gave to your virtual machine
configuration.
Note: If you get a message like "Bug F(123):456
BugNr=789," you have encountered a bug that is already on file
and has the number 789 in our bug tracking system. In all cases,
please request support (at www.vmware.com/requestsupport) and remember to
include the log and core files and describe what was happening in
both the host and guest operating systems when the failure
occurred.
