OpenSUSE 12.3 hangs on boot in VMware Player or Workstation

OpenSUSE 12.3 can be installed in VMware, but on reboot it hangs on the green splash screen as shown in the image below.

opensuse_boot_splash

Workarounds:

  1. Go to VM > Settings > Processors and set the number of processor cores to 2 or more.
  2. Go to VM > Settings > Display and uncheck ‘Accelerate 3D graphics’.

This allowed OpenSUSE to boot normally for me.
