can't find the documentation to solve this problem. cans someone please explain what's happening, and why some modules faile to load?
Virtual machine monitor failed
Virtual ethernet failed
anything much appreciated. is there a vmware tutorial anywhere? I can't find any and been searching for a couple days now...
thank you.
do I need to recompile the kernel with additional support. for what? I only found out that it may be necessary. but can't figure out what feature should be compiled right in.
I have upgraded from 2.6.9. everything worked smoothly. but now vmware is dead... and keeps requestion proper configuration.

Try the following:
1. Reboot the machine
2. Run the "vmware-config.pl" again
3. Reboot again immediately after running the the above without trying to run anything else.
4. Now try vmware, it should work.

| I heard vmware suffers performance problems in 2.6 kernels. Have you guys met with that problem? |

ok. got it working. thanks.
the problem was I had no Modules Unloading support. so I recompiled the 2.6.12 kernel. and it works.
this post helped me. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-2559091.html
however. everything seems to run smoothly except that the network stops working all of a sudden. and haven't figured out a way to bring it back up...
any suggestions?
I'm NAT'ing the connection. How can I track down what's happening?
ipconfig /release | /renew works but not always..
Thanks.
host-only networking won't work at all. |

Morning, Folks.
I think the problem you're seeing has been reported in bug 98548. The solution seems to work for me; see if it gives you any relief.

I haven't really suffered any problems in 2.6, but then again, I don't run any latency-sensitive applications, either.
