So there's a common problem here with VMWare Workstation and f40? What version of workstation are you both running? What are you running on, Windows 10, 11, something else?
When your VMs boot with the new kernels, but blank screens, are the IPs connected to the appropriate virtual network? Can you ping and/or SSH into the VMs? Have you tried booting into text-only mode in case the issue is specifically display manager related? https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/1d18b6d/anyone_having_trouble_with_fedora_40_kde_and/ looks promising?
