OK. I've removed all vmware builds. "emerge -C vmware-modules" reports
--- Couldn't find 'vmware-modules' to unmerge.
and 'find /var/db/pkg/ -name "*vmware*"' doesn't find anything.
Doing a new "emerge -aDtqv vmware-server" brings in:
[ebuild N ] app-emulation/vmware-server-1.0.5.80187
[ebuild N ] app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r1
Then "modprobe vmmon" reports (as before):
FATAL: Error inserting vmmon
(/lib/modules/2.6.25-gentoo-r4/misc/vmmon.ko): Invalid module format
with /var/log/messages saying:
Jun 12 07:26:15 osage vmmon: disagrees about version of symbol
struct_module
I've googled the above message and found this thread (from last night)
and another thread in which the running kernel version didn't match the
installed version of linux-headers. I've running the 2.6.25-gentoo-r4
kernel and have the same versions of linux-headers and gentoo-sources
installed.
Looking for more ideas as to what's wrong :->

David
