| Code: | April ~ # /etc/init.d/vmware start
* Service vmware starting
VMware Server is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured
for the running kernel.
Please ensure that the modules have been compiled for this kernel:
emerge --oneshot vmware-modules
Also ensure VMware Server has been configured:
/opt/vmware/server/bin/vmware-config.pl
VMware is not properly configured! See above. [ !! ]
* ERROR: vmware failed to start |
| Code: | | April ~ # emerge --oneshot vmware-modules |
| Code: | April ~ # /etc/init.d/vmware start
* Service vmware starting
VMware Server is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured
for the running kernel.
Please ensure that the modules have been compiled for this kernel:
emerge --oneshot vmware-modules
Also ensure VMware Server has been configured:
/opt/vmware/server/bin/vmware-config.pl
VMware is not properly configured! See above. [ !! ]
* ERROR: vmware failed to start |
| Code: | | April ~ # /opt/vmware/server/bin/vmware-config.pl |
I choose default settings. Can ofc post the entire process if relevant 
| Code: | Do you want to enter a serial number now? (yes/no/help) [no]
* Service vmware starting [ !! ]
* Service vmware started
The configuration of VMware Server 1.0.5 build-80187 for Linux for this running
kernel completed successfully.

Ok, so it's working, it seems.
| Code: |
April ~ # /etc/init.d/vmware restart
* Service vmware stopping
* Service vmware stopped
* Service vmware starting
VMware Server is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured
for the running kernel.
Please ensure that the modules have been compiled for this kernel:
emerge --oneshot vmware-modules
Also ensure VMware Server has been configured:
/opt/vmware/server/bin/vmware-config.pl
VMware is not properly configured! See above. [ !! ]
* ERROR: vmware failed to start |
Or not.
Checking dmesg
| Code: | vmmon: Unknown symbol init_mm
/dev/vmnet: open called by PID 15225 (vmnet-bridge)
/dev/vmnet: hub 0 does not exist, allocating memory.
/dev/vmnet: port on hub 0 successfully opened
bridge-eth1: enabling the bridge
bridge-eth1: up
bridge-eth1: already up
bridge-eth1: attached
/dev/vmnet: open called by PID 15246 (vmnet-natd)
/dev/vmnet: hub 8 does not exist, allocating memory.
/dev/vmnet: port on hub 8 successfully opened
bridge-eth1: down
bridge-eth1: detached |
Doesn't tell me anything. Any ideas?

wild guess: you're using a kernel 2.6.25-xxx?
If yes go back to 2.6.24; see e.g. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218250

| Turn on CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS in your kernel config and that will re-export init_mm (needed by the vmmon module) in 2.6.25. |
