I have a hunch that vmware-modules-1.0.0.17 is too old for |
| 58 |
kernel-2.6.25. See what happens if you do: modprobe --force vmnet |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
Perhaps you reconfigured something with your kernel that throws it |
| 61 |
off. I can't read German too well, I think this guy got it working my |
| 62 |
fixing his kernel config: |
