I know I am dragging up an old thread but I have an issue with the behavior of the VM once running. I am using Lion and a StartupItem script with Fusion 4. The behavior is the same if I use launchd.
Problem:
The VM launches perfectly fine and works beautifully. The problem lies when I login to the host system and then logout. When I logout the VM processes are killed effectively doing a force shutdown of the VM. Any ideas what could be the problem? In case it matters, when starting the VM I am getting these errors but the VM runs fine:
