the vmmon module is build by the vmware-config.pl script
have you run it?
I know you have to enable some options in the kernel, but I'm at some other PC right now.
If it doesn't work out with vmware-config.pl, let me know.

It's part of the vmware package. As root type: vmware-config
If your lucky it will work. |

I did run the config for vmware and vmware wouldn't run at all without running that confg script. The script was ok. Now VMWARE runs but if I start any virual machine it says:
| Code: |
Could not open /dev/vmmon
no such file or directory...
Please make sure that the Kernel module "vmmon" is loaded.
That is what lead me to think it's the kernel..

THanks. |

/etc/init.d/vmware start
As root.
Then you should see vmmon and a few other modules starting with vm loaded.
Currently this is all I see:
vmnet 34468 11
vmmon 106348 6

Thanks. That seems to have fixed the issue. I guess I should add this to my local.start or default runlevel... I would have think the config should have added this.

Working great
Now I do have a small issue...
I want to allow VMWARE to access a Partition, when I add a hard drive to /dev/sda, it tells me that IU don't have access...
I added my user to the disk group since /dev/sda is in the disk group, but still. Root can do it.. how can I allow a user to access /dev/sda?
Thanks. |

Start a new thread about that since I don't know the answer.
