If you see this in your /var/log/messages and you run vmware:

 EXT3-fs error: ext3_journal_start_sb: Detected aborted journal

This could be a vmware configuration issue.

Edit /etc/sysctl.conf and add this line

 vm.min_free_kbytes = 10240

Alternatively you can add this to /etc/rc.local or somewhere else in the boot process.

The value 10240 could be 5120 or higher.

For more information see the VMware forum.
