Hi there, VMware here...
We're able to repro this and have the following temporary workaround while we
figure out who's code needs adjusting:
We are able to boot by adding:
acpi=force
to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
in: /etc/default/grub
Such that the full line reads:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=force"
Remember to also disable Wayland (which is not presently supported in
this Fusion tech preview) in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf by uncommenting
WaylandEnable=false.
When it's in the unresponsive state it still boots so ssh works... you
can check /proc/iomem and it seems like the PCI memory is already
reserved for BOOTFB..
Not working state:
50000000-7fffffff : pcie@0x40000000
78000000-7fffffff : 0000:00:0f.0
78000000-782fffff : BOOTFB
Working state: (i.e. with acpi=force)
50000000-7fffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00
50000000-501fffff : PCI Bus 0000:20
50200000-503fffff : PCI Bus 0000:21
50400000-505fffff : PCI Bus 0000:21
78000000-782fffff : BOOTFB
We have an internal bug filed so I'll update if we have more we can
share.
Thanks,
-Michael

Title:
5.15 and 5.16 arm64 kernels fail to boot in VMWare Fusion
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I am using VMWare Fusion Tech Preview on an Apple M1 Max MacBook Pro
per:
https://blogs.vmware.com/teamfusion/2021/09/fusion-for-m1-public-tech-
preview-now-available.html
I am successfully using the 5.14 kernel series (currently
5.14.21-051421-generic) but note this is now EOL.
However whenever I try to upgrade to either the 5.15 or 5.16 series my
VM hangs at boot time after:
EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
EFI stub: EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL unavailable
EFI stub: ERROR: FIRMWARE BUG: kernel image not aligned on 64k boundary
EFI stub: ERROR: FIRMWARE BUG: Image BSS overlaps adjacent EFI memory region
EFI stub: Using DIB from configuration table
EFI stub: Exiting boot services...
I see the same "hang" for both 5.15.7 and 5.16-rc4.
FYI this has also been reported by others who note that the problem
appears to be specific to Ubuntu:
https://communities.vmware.com/t5/Fusion-for-Apple-Silicon-
Tech/Anyone-have-any-luck-with-Ubuntu-5-15-kernels/m-p/2880362
Given that I can't boot using the 5.15.7 and 5.16-rc4 kernels, I can't
provide the output from:
cat /proc/version
However I attach the output from lspci.
Please let me know what other information I can provide to help
diagnose this issue.
Thanks
