vmware doesn't create the devices of acustom network at boot, so it works only after the creation or if you manually add the device /dev/vmnetXXX Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. add a custom network between two virtual server 2. reboot 3. restart virtual server Actual Results: It doesn't work after a reboot Expected Results: It should create also the devices of custom networks Portage 2.1.4.4 (default-linux/x86/2007.0, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.24.2 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.24.2 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7700 @ 2.40GHz Timestamp of tree: Sun, 16 Mar 2008 05:45:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17-r1 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.4 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r9 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs buildpkg ccache distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LINGUAS="it" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages/workstation" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac aalib acl acpi alsa apache2 arts avahi berkdb binfilter bri cairo cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dell doc dri dv dvb dvd dvdnav dvdr dvdread encode esd exif ffmpeg firefox flac font-server foomatic-db foomaticdb fortran gcj gd gdbm gif gimp gnome gnutls gphoto2 gpm gps gstreamer gtk hal hvm iconv ieee1394 imap ipv6 ipw4965 isdnlog jack java jpeg kde kdeenablefinal kerberos lcms ldap lirc live lm_sensors logitech-mouse mad madwifi matroska midi mmx mng mono mp3 mpeg mpeg2 mudflap mysql ncurses netmeeting nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin odbc odk ogg opengl openmp pae pam pcre pda pdf perl png postgres pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime readline real reflection rtsp samba sasl screen sdl session shout slang smp sound speex spell spl sqlite sqlite3 sse sse2 ssl svg tcpd theora tiff tk truetype unicode usb utf8 v4l v4l2 vhosts vorbis webdav wifi win32codecs wmf x264 x86 xine xinerama xiph xml xml2 xorg xprint xulrunner xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="synaptics evdev keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="it" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia vga" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Really don't see what kind of fix are you expecting from us ;) Also you didn't mention actual ebuild name and version at all, there are tons of various vmware stuff in the tree.
ops, you are right vmware-workstation-5.5.5.56455
Created attachment 151049 [details] vmware-workstation-5.5.6 without any-any init scripts Sorry for the late reply, this is probably because we've used the vmware-any-any init scripts for vmware-workstation-5.5.5 and 5.5.6. This is no longer being done for 6.0.3 onwards, but I'm afraid I don't have a license for 5.5 to test out the necessary changes. If you're handy with an overlay, I've attached an appropriately modified ebuild (5.5.6) which you could test for me. Hopefully it will solve the problem without introducing any unwanted side effects... 5:)
This package is no longer in the main tree, please test whether you're still having the same problems with the latest available version.
