Haldaemon and Vmware

[Cyber Source]

I have the same relationship problem with haldaemon and vmware, that's 
why I posted originally. I initially thought it was a timing sequence 
thing on boot, it says it is starting haldaemon but when I check after 
it boots up, it's not running. If I restart haldaemon after the pc comes 
up, all is ok to reboot the machine, no hangs. However, I cannot shut 
the pc down, then it hangs. I then noticed that there is no script for 
vmware in rc.0, so I made a link for vmware in rc.0 and it can then shut 
down but then hangs at the end (shuts all down but  does not power off). 
This only happens with AMD cpus and can then be corrected with acpi=off 
in the grub line, not needed with Intel cpus, or so I have seen.  Bitter 
sweet  when the new releases come out, exciting and yet a pain to work 
out the bugs, lol.
