vwmare herd re-assignment. Seems problem is gone after updating kernel to 2.6.11-r11. Also it doesn't appers after igrating to kernel 2.6.12. Seems that was a kernel issue. Seems problem is gone after updating kernel to 2.6.11-r11. Also it doesn't appers after igrating to kernel 2.6.12. Seems that was a kernel issue. ...fix resolution code... We close bugs on this end... thanks... I've discovered that the bug is still there there with the vmware-workstation-5.0.0.13124(vmware-workstation-4.5.2.8848-r6 may be too) and 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 and 2.6.11-gentoo-r11 kernels. I've found the situation when this problem apeears and it reproducable 100%. The problem appers when vmware-workstation launch script(/etc/init.d/vmware) started and there is any of ppp interfaces up (dialup connection for sure). '/etc/init.d/vmware start' script works fine if no ppp intarfaced up(no dialup connection). And if there any of ppp interfaces up then vmnet8 and vmnet0 interfaces are absent and I have a situation like this: $ ifconfig vmnet8 vmnet8: error fetching interface information: Device not found The problem is due to PC with address 192.168.100.1 is present on ISP network and Vmware checks if address of vmnet8 interface reachable before bringing interface up by following function in script: .. lookForHostOnlyNetwork() { local ip="$1" "$vmdb_answer_BINDIR"/"$ping" -q "$ip" } ... if lookForHostOnlyNetwork "$ifIp"; then echo 'Host-only networking disabled because '"$ifIp" echo 'appears to be a real, physical, existing address.' echo 'Please run "'"$vmdb_answer_BINDIR"'/vmware-config.pl" to' echo 'modify your host-only network configuration.' exit 1 fi ... Sounds like a specific configuration issue on your end, then. If the address exists with your ISP, then you either need to not be connected, or to choose another IP address. |
