[one-users] Resume VM fails for VMWare Server 2.0 hypervisor

[Tino Vazquez]

Hi Manish,

This looks like the the VMware server cannot find the checkpoint, but
it would be nice to know exactly if this is the case. If the VI Client
doesn't show anything, maybe the VMware server logs do?

Also, is there anything useful if you activate the VMware drivers debug?

Regards,

-Tino
