Updated to new kernel and it breaks VMWare workstation, here's output from running vmware-config.pl

 * Starting VMware services:                                                                                          [ ok ] *   Virtual machine monitor                                                                                          [ !! ] *   Virtual ethernet                                                                                                 [ !! ] *   Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0                                                                                [ !! ]
The configuration of VMware Workstation 5.5.1 build-19175 for Linux for this
running kernel completed successfully.

You can now run VMware Workstation by invoking the following command:
"/opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmware".

Enjoy,

--the VMware team

Recompiled, removed, emerged, etc.. breaks every time

This seems to be a fairly regular occurance, seems to be broken every other kernel update breaks VMWare

Re-emerge vmware-modules....
Comment 2 Polarina 2006-09-02 11:00:07 UTC
You forgot to emerge the vmware modules. ;)
Comment 3 Ross 2006-09-02 14:31:27 UTC
Doh -
Forgot vmware is split into two packages now..................

Never Mind!!!!!
Comment 4 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-02 15:19:11 UTC
