Receiving the following errors when I try to start up my virtual machine(s) in Vmware Fusion 5 -
- Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory.
- Failed to initialize monitor device
- Cannot find a valid peer process to connect to.
Reinstalled Vmware Fusion 5 using these instructions - http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1017838
Uninstalled. Restarted. Reinstalled. Restarted. Started virtual machine, same errors.
Thinking it might be a problem with the virtual machine, I copy over another virtual machine that's running just fine on another Mac downstairs. Same errors. I'm running 10.8.2 on a 2012 Macbook Air.
Starting to think this is an enviroment problem, but I'm not sure where to start looking beyond the manual uninstall instructions. Any assitance would be greatly appreciated.
One strange thing I noticed - even after a manual uninstall and subsequent reinstall, it still lists the old virtual machine name in the Virtual Machine library list. Also, /dev/vmmon is still missing after a reinstall.
