I just went ahead and committed the changes I had posted to the list early today. If you have a working installation of vmware + rtc, there's no need to update. Here's my commit message, which sums up the changes: ---- A slew of changes to allow vmware3 to work on 5.x with dynamic device numbering while not breaking 4.x compatibility: - Stop using device nodes in /usr/compat/linux/dev and instead rely on the linuxaltor passing though to /dev - Create needed device nodes in /dev (on 4.x) - Account for a change in falloc's semantics that was preventing the vmmon module from being unloaded on 5.1+ machines. ---- Of course, testing would still be appreciated if you have the time. I tested on 4.9-stable and 5.2-current, but there are many ways in which I still could have broken the port. :) Mike "Silby" Silbersack
