Did you rebuild the Vmware kernel module(s) from scratch? Make sure you do so each time you update to a newer kernel version, as it's important the data structures referenced by the module be the same version as the ones referenced by the kernel you're running. I've seen precisely this output when my kernel module has been out of sync, previously. If it's in sync, well, I guess it's a different problem :-) Robert N M Watson FreeBSD Core Team, TrustedBSD Projects robert@fledge.watson.org Network Associates Laboratories On Mon, 30 Jun 2003, Eirik Oeverby wrote: > Hi, > > As of yesterday (I think), VMWare 3.2.1 is no longer working on my > 5-CURRENT box.
