I have a bit of an odd setup, Arch is installed on an external USB drive. Initially I was able to boot the computer directly from it, and also to run it inside VMWare. It seemed to work fine switching between the two modes. But then I think it broke when I installed open-vm-tools. After that I need to go to rescue mode first. Removing open-vm-tools did not fix it.
Please let me know if I can add more information to help. Thanks.
