Hi again, I would like to correct the information I send before. After I rebooted my machine once more (by starting vmware :( ) I had to realize, that the vmware.sh stop/start procedure is obviously not always sufficient. Without starting any applications I opened a Terminal window and started vmware and it got up without booting my box. So I suppose the problem is somewhere else. But I would still like to know how I can influence the load order of kernel modules, even if it does not solve my problem ;) best wishes, Stefan --On Thursday, July 03, 2003 11:34:22 +0200 Stefan Farrenkopf <sfarren@gwdg.de> wrote: > Hi all, > > first of all about the background of my question: > if I start vmware (version 2 from the ports tree) on my FreeBSD 4.8 > system, the system reboots :(( I found that if I restart > /usr/local/etc/rc.d/vmware.sh (stop, start) the kernel module vmmon gets > unloaded and loaded again and I get a new order in the kldstat list (see > below).
