What version of FreeBSD? Of course. I tried to load the vmmon_up.ko and vmnet.ko modules after the linux.ko module, as well as before or without it. In both cases, I get the same error message. kldload: can't load /usr/local/lib/vmware/lib/modules/vmmon_up.ko: Exec format error (same with vmnet.ko). linux.ko loads w/o problems via linux(8). > > I'm trying to use /usr/ports/emulators/vmware2 on a > > FreeBSD 5.0-20000506-CURRENT > > system (the one that is packaged in the Toolkit June 2000 CD). [Snip] The linux emulation alone works quite well (e.g. acroread4 or most other linux binaries). There is only one point that made me curious: When I run linux(8), ldconfig (probably /usr/compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig, right?) dumps core. Nonetheless, the emulation still works. Can this be the problem? What would be the right work-around?
