81196 2005-02-07 23:05 0000 net.eth0 init script needs to depend on vmware-tools startup for gentoo vm's running under vmware esx 2006-06-12 13:51:02 0000 1 1 1 Unclassified Gentoo Linux Ebuilds unspecified x86 Linux RESOLVED FIXED P2 normal --- 1 mattm@gentoo.org vmware@gentoo.org mattm@gentoo.org 2005-02-07 23:05:16 0000 The vmware-tools package under ESX installs a key networking module, vmxnet, while setting up other vmware thingies. The module can not just be put in /etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.x because the vmware-tools init will deactivate/reload the module causing the network interface to crash. vmware-tools needs to be started/depended on by net.eth0 for esx vm's. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install vmware esx 2.create a gentoo vm w/ vmxnet interface 3.install vmware tools 4. Notice that booting up causes eth0 to be completly messed up 5. create a vmware.init script and have net.eth0 depend on it 6. Notice that booting now works properly Actual Results: see above wolf31o2@gentoo.org 2005-05-03 08:51:42 0000 This needs to be modifed under baselayout. It just looks like net.eth0 needs to "use vmware-tools"... vapier@gentoo.org 2005-05-03 17:14:17 0000 no, update the vmware init script to have 'before net' in it wolf31o2@gentoo.org 2005-05-04 04:31:21 0000 D'uh... what was I thinking? Stuart: can you do this, please? stuart@gentoo.org 2006-06-10 16:27:30 0000 Reassigning to vmware team. wolf31o2@gentoo.org 2006-06-12 13:51:02 0000 Fixed...
