Yuandan,

I had the same problem. For some reason some of the initscript soft
links weren't installed. Check to see if you have them all:

# cd /etc/rc0.d  (also rc1.d ... rc6.d)
# ls -l *vm*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 23 Mar 20 03:28 K08vmware -> /etc/rc.d/init.d/vmware

You should have K08vmware links in all rcX.d subdirectories except rc5.d
where you should have a link named S90vmware.

Hope this helps...
