| Code: |
I seem to have a problem starting vmware, the module build works fine, configure works fine, kernel is shown below, vmware-workstation is the current stable release
modprobing the module vmmon and vmnet works fine, I just don't know why this wouldnt start
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.15-gentoo-r1'
cp -f vmnet.ko ./../vmnet.o
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config1/vmnet-only'
* Starting VMware services: [ ok ]
* Virtual machine monitor [ !! ]
* Virtual ethernet [ !! ]
* Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 [ !! ]
* Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet1 (background) [ ok ]
* Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet8 (background) [ ok ]
* NAT service on /dev/vmnet8

make sure the vmnet and vmmon modules are not loaded when you run vmware-config.pl
if there are any loading, remove them first:
| Code: | # /etc/init.d/vmware stop
# rmmod vmnet
# rmmod vmmon
# lsmod | grep ^vm
|
only then, run vmware-config.pl

I found the problem, when I added module automounting in the kernel it all of the sudden loaded perfectly
