My system has the following specs:
3.2 GHz Intel Core i3 (2010 27" iMac)
12 GB RAM
Mac OS X 10.7.2
I am using VMware Fusion 4.1.1.
After a fresh reboot, I am able to run a couple of VMs with different OSes (Linux, FreeBSD, etc.). I then shut them down and close VMware Fusion. When I attempt to run a VM again, Fusion complains that "The virtual machine is unable to reserve memory". Selecting "Retry" only leads to the message "Failed to lock shared memory".
I currently have 9.47 GB free memory according to Activity Monitor.
In the Console, the logs show these:
12/29/11 1:47:32.000 AM kernel: vmmon: Warning: Cannot map in grab map: 4.
12/29/11 1:47:33.000 AM kernel: vmmon: Warning: Cannot map in grab map: 4.
12/29/11 1:47:34.000 AM kernel: vmmon: Warning: Cannot map in grab map: 4.
12/29/11 1:47:35.000 AM kernel: vmmon: Warning: Cannot map in grab map: 4.
12/29/11 1:47:36.000 AM kernel: vmmon: Warning: Cannot map in grab map: 4.
12/29/11 1:47:37.000 AM kernel: vmmon: Warning: Cannot map in grab map: 4.
I am able to reproduce this problem every time after a fresh reboot.
Is there a fix for this already? What can I do to avoid having to reboot the computer everytime I want to run VMs under VMware Fusion?

Albert
