Hello, I'm getting a total crash every time I try to run vmware. This is my system: bash-2.05b$ uname -a FreeBSD potato.hogsedge.net 5.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT #0: Tue Jun 22 07:07:08 BST 2004 root@potato.hogsedge.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/POTATO i386 bash-2.05b$ pkg_info | grep vmware vmware3-3.2.1.2242_7,1 A virtual machine emulator - a full PC in a window For a while I was getting some sort of network error: vmware would start as long as all the network stuff was disabled, but if I tried to have a host-only connection (I haven't even bothered trying a bridged connection) it wouldn't run (that is, vmware itself would run fine, but the virtual machine wouldn't boot, and I'd get an error message about networking - sorry I didn't make a note of it). So I did portupgrade -fR vmware3 and after a lot of waiting around I tried again: now I get a complete crash (can't even change to another terminal and kill x) whenever I try to start vmware. On boot, I get this message: kldload: can't load /usr/local/lib/vmware/modules/vmnet.ko: No such file or directory in amongst all the other system stuff, but I also get this: -bash-2.05b# locate vmnet.ko /usr/local/lib/vmware/modules/vmnet.ko even after updating the locate database. Any ideas what's going wrong? Thanks a lot, Ben
