Hello everyone, Hi
I have the following rather anoying problem with VMware workstation 5.5.2 build-29772 on my SuSE Linux 10.1 host, namely everytime I reboot the vmmon module I had compiled and loaded in the kernel is for some reason gone and I get error messages like these: "Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory. Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded."
"Failed to initialize monitor device."
"Unable to change virtual machine power state: Cannot find a valid peer process to connect to."
Is there a way to just load the module and keep it there? Is this a VMware issue or is it SUSE? That build is working fine on my SuSE10.1... except for /dev/rtc problem

If have no experience in installing VMWare from rpm but, if you install from tar.gz you also need the following: - kernel-sources and all goodies to compile a kernel among others. Try to install the kernel.development section - It should do. - you need to go to /usr/src/linux and type: - make cloneconfig - make prepare Then unpack and run vmware-config.pl as root You have to run vmware-config.pl script every time you upgrade your kernel. You also should do a make cloneconfig and make prepare too. Hope it helps you.
