I have a native 64 bit 11.3 system with vmware 7.0x as an application. I have installed a win 7 guest which works fine 99% of the time. But if I try to plug usb headphones into my system after I boot win 7, it will crash entire system, but if I plug headphones into system before loading vmware, this does not happen. Is this a kernel issue?
I’ve also had similar crashes, sometimes involving external devices and sometimes just working in the vm will crash the entire system. Everything locks up but the mouse, can’t switch terminals or kill the x server with ctrl-alt-backspace. only option is hard reset.
