Vmware 3.2 and MDK9.0
Marco Peccianti
Even if some Warnings during compiling, vmware-config works,
but finally even if all seems to be fine, when i run vmware
the program reports the following
"
VMware Workstation Error:
Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory.
Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded."
I tried with the last patch "vmware-any-any....." but nothing change.
My system is an AthlonXP 1.8 with 1Gbyte of RAM
and Mandrake 2.4.19-16mdkenterprise.
Full source installed of 2.4.19
Thanks a lot....... Help me!
CIAO!

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.

You are probably using devfs. Either stop using devfs, or configure
it properly to load vmmon/vmnet modules when someone asks
for /dev/vmmon and /dev/vmnet. I certainly recommend you to
not use devfs, but it is your choice.

(actually i'm in remote on my server and i cannot check
the real functionality) but (simply rebooting the machine)
/dev/vmmon appeared. In Mandrake 8.2, it worked on the fly after
vmware-config.
I report that for every people in my situation.
Thank's a lot Petr
