workstation 8 with win XP guest hangs ubuntu 9.10 host

HI,

 

I've been successfully using workstation 7.x on my ubuntu 9.10 laptop to run a windows XP machine for over a year now without any problems.

But since upgrading to workstation 8 I've experienced several hard freezes/hang of my laptop while running the VM.

The only way to recover is to power-cycle the laptop.

 

The laptop is on pretty much 24x7, the VM too. (At least is was before the upgrade to ws8.. )

The last time it happened was last night, inspecting the system logs after restarting it this morning shows that the host just completely froze a few hours after I went to bed. No indications as to why.

 

It's happened while vmware was running in a window, full-screen as well as with the gui closed and the vm running in the background. Mostly while I was away from it, so I can't tell what sort of activity was going on inside the VM or on the host at the time of the hang. Although - given I wasn't using it - probably not much (on the host at least).

 

Anyone else experiencing similar problems/regressions after an upgrade from ws7 to ws8?

 

Regards, Mark.
