Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.28-8-server
After installing 2.6.28-8-server kernel in Ubuntu Jaunty, I had trouble with vmware modules. I have VMware-Workstation-6.5.1-126130.i386.bundle I have 2.6.28-8-server #26-Ubuntu SMP Wed Feb 25 05:29:46 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux 1) The modules are no longer loaded automatically. 2) Even with vmci listed in /etc/modules, it is not loaded during boot. 3) I can manually load vmci and vmnet. 4) vmnet seems to do nothing. My vmware network no longer works. I cannot see any /dev/vmn* after loading the module. Virtual box still runs without problem :-) During module (re)creating, I didn't see any special errors.
