           Summary: open-vm-tools package installed with vmware-kmp-default

           Product: openSUSE 11.0
           Version: Final
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Other

          Found By: ---

running /etc/init.d/vmware-guest restart will cause the following errors if the
vmware-kmp-default package is not installed.

promb-2n-dhcp252:~ # /etc/init.d/vmware-guest restart
Shutting down vmware-guest umount: /proc/fs/vmblock/mountPoint: not found

FATAL: Module vmsync not found.
FATAL: Module vmmemctl not found.
                                                                     failed

mount: mount point /proc/fs/vmblock/mountPoint does not exist
FATAL: Module vmmemctl not found.
FATAL: Module vmsync not found.
Warning: vmware-user failed to initialize blocking driver.

It seems like making the open-vm-tools package require vmware-kmp-default
package would be a good idea.  It will make all the scary "FATAL" errors go
away.
