after the recent update from version 2.0.1.156745-r2 to 2.0.1.156745-r3 (including vmware modules from 1.0.0.24 to 1.0.0.24-r1) i cannot (re)start my vmware-server. before updating i stopped all the virtual machines running, updated modules and server and then tried to restart vmware-server. but i got this message: area52 hostd # /etc/init.d/vmware restart * Stopping VMware autostart virtual machines: * Virtual Machines [ !! ] * Stopping VMware management services: * VMware Server Host Agent [ !! ] * Stopping VMware services: * VMware Authentication Daemon [ ok ] * VM communication interface socket family: [ ok ] * Virtual machine communication interface [ ok ] * Virtual machine monitor [ ok ] * Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 [ ok ] * Host network detection [ ok ] * Virtual ethernet [ ok ] * VMware is not properly configured! See above. i also stopped xinetd (which starts vmware-authd), and reloaded the vmware modules vmci, vmnet and vmmon. but no success. i cannot restart vmware-server anymore. i can also not find any vmware processes on my machine. i use kernel 2.6.30-gentoo-r5, use flag ~amd64 for vmware-server and vmware-server modules.
Please try: $ sudo /opt/vmware/server/bin/vmware-config.pl --skip-stop-start
