sphinx adam # /etc/init.d/modules restart
* WARNING: you are stopping a boot service
* Loading module acpi-cpufreq ...
[ ok ]
* Loading module fuse ...
[ ok ]
* Loading module usbhid ...
[ ok ]
* Autoloaded 3 module(s)
So they're just being missed. I've changed it to
modules_2_6="${modules_2_6} vmmon vmnet vmblock vmci vsock"
And it now works ok.
> Where do those vm* modules come from?
VMware 7.1 (used the vmware installer... messy i know)
