hi there,
i got the following problem:
once these days my vmware started, but the vm was hanging, so i had to kill the vmware
process. but now, after killing it, the vmmon module doesnt get free to unload it. i
think it hanged because the modules had to be recompiled for my new kernel. so it
seems like the wrong kernel version module is loaded (shouldnt be, but seems like its
like that).
now that i've killed vmware, i have to unload the modules manually (or
/etc/init.d/vmware stop/restart), but this doesnt work. the vmmon module still has two
references, so it cant be unloaded. but the lsmod command does only show the number of
running references, not their names or something.
any idea how to solve this without a reboot? i already tried to kill all types of
lock-files related to vmware and so on, nothing worked. i cant recompile the modules
neither restart the init process, because both of them look at the references at the
loaded vmmon module... and then quit with a message like "still having a running
vmware instance".
:-(
