Running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit host, Fedora 16 64-bit guest.
After installing the vmware-tools package and upon each reboot, I get a bug crash report when the system is mounting the hgfs, and the /mnt/hgfs directory is therefor not mounted to the host directory I've set up. I get the same bug crash report if I try to manually mount the hgfs.
Is this a known issue, or does anybody know how to fix this problem?
Here's the kernel and stack trace:
