Opps, it was my mistake. I have 1.0.0.17 installed with ~x86 workstation, server. According to vmware-server ebuild, only 1.0.0.15 will work with the latest vmware-server. I'd file a bug in bugs.gentoo.org that vmware-server does not work for you with 2.6.25. As a work around, try to use 2.6.24 kernel or earlier. Sorry for my blunder. -- [email protected] mailing list
