Fedora 12 guest VMWare -- guest daemon failure

I've created a Fedora 12 VMWare guest on a Fedora 10 system.
VMWare tools appear to build and install correctly, and when
I start/stop them manually, they appear to work.  After starting
them I can resize the VM window to match my screen.

When I reboot the guest, a message is issued saying "guest daemon
failed" and VMware tools shuts down.

There's nothing in boot.log or messages which gives a clue.
In the vmware-tools script, all I can see is that guestd returns
non-zero.

Anyone run into this?
