I've just installed vmware-server and it doesn't start. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Environment: 2.6.19-gentoo-r1 kernel on x86 |
| 4 |
vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r1 |
| 5 |
vmware-server-1.0.1.29996-r4 |
| 6 |
vmware-server-console-1.0.1.29996-r4 |
| 7 |
|

When I run /etc/init.d/vmware start, the following messages appear |
| 9 |
in /var/log/messages |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
... rc-scripts: Vmware Server is installed, but it has not been |
| 12 |
(correctly) configured |
| 13 |
... rc-scripts: for the running kernel. |
| 14 |
... rc-scripts: Please ensure that the modules have been compiled for |
| 15 |
this kernel: |
| 16 |
... rc-scripts: emerge --oneshot vmware-modules |
| 17 |
... rc-scripts: Also ensure Vmware Server has been configured: |
| 18 |
... rc-scripts: /opt/vmware/server/bin/vmware-config.pl |
| 19 |
... rc-scripts: VMware is not properly configured! See above. |
| 20 |
... modprobe: FATAL: Module vmmon not found. |
| 21 |
... modprobe: FATAL: Module vmnet not found. |
| 22 |
... vmware-start: Virtual machine monitor ... failed |
| 23 |
... vmware-start: Virtual ethernet ... failed |
| 24 |
... vmware-start: Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 ... failed |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I've run both suggested commands (several times) to no avail. |
| 27 |

| 28 |
Looking in /lib/modules/2.6.19-gentoo-r1 directory misc has newly built |
| 29 |
modules vmmon.ko and vmnet.ko |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
It would seem that modprobe is looking in the wrong directory. Running |
| 32 |
"strace modprobe vmmon" shows a read of |
| 33 |
"/lib/modules/2.6.19-gentoo-r1/ke"..., which is (unfortunately) an |
| 34 |
incomplete path. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Anybody know what's wrong and how to fix it? |

Thank you. |
