think it will be in sunday/monday.

I'm having a similar problem that I'm trying to isolate to ethier vmware or

you need to do a /etc/init.d/vmware start before running vwmare

Does that tell you something? Like I don't "restart" that often? :-)

Anyway. I _know_ how to load modules thru modprobe/insmod, the thing is vmware 
4.0.1 seems broken or something 'cos after creating a virtual machine, any 
attempt to run it will crash vmware. Dunno, I guess I'll build a new box from 
spare pieces.

Thanks for your reply!

Nope. I did it and vmware didn't work. Doing the above device by hand, fixed 
the problem, but then, when I went to install Debian on a virtual machine, it 
just crashed. I guess 4.0.1 isn't stable enough. Luckily, I didn't buy a 
license yet :-)

try this:
rc-update add vmware default
this should load the vmware modules at start up

Howdy,
I had a similar problem but a quick search of the gentoo forums had the
answer. From memory I had to run the vmware-config.pl then remove the
file /etc/vmware/not_configured (or somethin like that).

[gentoo-user] vmware wtf!???

2003-08-30 Thread Norberto BENSA
Hello,

anyone using vmware? All I get is this all the time (I can't use vmware)

VMware Workstation Error:
Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such device or address.
Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded.

Press "Enter" to continue...


vmmon|devfsd doesn't create /dev/vmmon. I think it is 

mknod /dev/vmmon b 165 10

But it doesn't work either.

Thanks in advance,
Norberto
