Fedora 15 VM takes forever to start-up after VM Tools installation

I just installed VM Tools on my Fedora 15 VM and now the system takes several minutes to start-up and I have no idea why. The start-up had been pretty quick before I installed VM Tools.

I'm a bit of a Linux newb so I don't even know where to begin looking. This is the only problem that came up during the VM Tools install:

Detected Xorg X server version 1.10.4.

Distribution provided drivers for Xorg X server are used.

Skipping X configuration because X drivers are not included.

Creating a new initrd boot image for the kernel.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
