hi, guys.

Does anyone have VMware2 port running successfully on -current ?

i'm :)

my VMware2 port's startup script says
   /usr/local/etc/rc.d/vmware.sh: cannot create /compat/linux/dev/vmnet1: Device not configured

I digged into this a little and found that this message is from the line
   echo -n > $dev_vmnet1
here, $dev_vmnet1 points to /usr/compat/linux/dev/vmnet1.

if_tap is loaded as KLD as follows:
   29    1 0xc3acd000 4000     if_tap.ko

what does `ls -la /usr/compat/linux/dev/vmnet1' say?

/usr/compat/linux/dev/vmnet1 should be symlink to /dev/vmnet1

vmware2 still wants to create device nodes under /linux/dev/
not symlinks. someone please fix

my -current is built yesterday and I've even re-installed VMware2 port a few times.
CPUTYPE and no special CFLAGS etc are not defined in make.conf.

same script works on -stable.
Am I missing anything obvious ?


not really :) just a DEVFS side effect

thanks,
max
