Re: [gentoo-user] vmware workstation daemon problem

[Halo0784 (sent by Nabble.com)]

do you have module unloading compiled into your kernel?
    if not this is needed because of how the /etc/vmware/init.d/vmware script works

also a debug check list
first check for your vm modules
lsmod

this should show you your vmmon / vmnet modules

also check your /dev folder for your vm files
ls -l /dev/vm*

this should show you vmmon / vmnet / vmnet0 and so on

lastly if you find that you have module unloading support and all the above check out fine do

rc-update add vmware default

then just reboot

****a very windows approach to this i know but im lzy and it will do 2 things... 1) shows you that your install is goin good  (if u reboot and vmware does'nt work then it aint a good install) 2) deals with any modules that may be loaded in as perment, im sure there may be a better way but ... im lzy =)****

as you reboot you should see the vm services load with the typical [ok]

login then run your vmware as you would normally.
