-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everybody
I have used vmware-workstation (first 3.2 and later 4.0) without Gentoo specific problems for some time. However, a few days ago, I discovered I could not start any virtual machines anymore (neither with 3.2 nor with 4.0). Apparently the thread VMX terminates unexpectedly. Due to the abrupt stop, vmware "thinks" there are still running machines when I try to re-run it. > [Extract from vmware.log] > > Jul 04 10:41:00: vmx| DICT --- GLOBAL SETTINGS > Jul 04 10:41:00: vmx| DISKLIB-SPARSE: "/VMWare/Templ/Win2KTempl-s001.vmdk" : open successful (17) (cap: 4192256 size: 1985150976). > Jul 04 10:41:00: vmx| DISKLIB-SPARSE: "/VMWare/Templ/Win2KTempl-s002.vmdk" : open successful (17) (cap: 4192256 size: 783548416). > Jul 04 10:41:00: vmx| DISKLIB-SPARSE: "/VMWare/Templ/Win2KTempl-s003.vmdk" : open successful (17) (cap: 4096 size: 65536). > Jul 04 10:41:00: vmx| DISKLIB-DSCPTR: "/VMWare/Templ/Win2KTempl.vmdk" : createType: twoGbMaxExtentSparse > Jul 04 10:41:00: vmx| DISKLIB-SPARSE: "/VMWare/Templ/Win2KTempl-s001.vmdk" : closed. > Jul 04 10:41:00: vmx| DISKLIB-SPARSE: "/VMWare/Templ/Win2KTempl-s002.vmdk" : closed. > Jul 04 10:41:00: vmx| DISKLIB-SPARSE: "/VMWare/Templ/Win2KTempl-s003.vmdk" : closed. > Jul 04 10:41:00: vmx| MStat: Creating Stat vm.uptime > Jul 04 10:41:00: mks| MKS IPC closed the connection with thread VMX (0x815f5cc) > Jul 04 10:41:00: mks| MKS: Thread VMX exited unexpectedly. > Jul 04 10:41:00: mks| VTHREAD thread 1 start exiting > Jul 04 10:41:00: mks| VTHREAD accounting: u=5 k=0 wall=234 ms 2.1% > Jul 04 10:41:00: mks| VTHREAD thread 1 exiting, 1 left My first thought about changes on my system was module-init-tools which I have emerged in order to test development kernels. But the problem remained after unmerging it and remerging modutils. Maybe the new baselayout has something to do with it. Did anybody else experience something alike?
