Vmware Server 2 - "Failed to initialize monitor device."

After rebooting the server my virtual machines would not start up again. Neither automatically nor manually. This problem had me confused for a while but I finally found a simple solution.

The problem was that kvm-intel module was loaded, so simply removing this, and restarting the vmware service was sufficient to restart my virtual machines.

sudo rmmod kvm-intel
sudo service vmware restart

After this my virtual machines had no problem starting.

Backup your images on JottaCloud

On JottaCloud you can easily backup your images or files. I use JottaCloud to save a backup of the images I take on my Android phone.
