These are: treat ~ # emerge -pv vmware-modules These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r1 0 kB Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB treat ~ # modprobe vmmon FATAL: Error inserting vmmon (/lib/modules/2.6.25-gentoo-r8-kosmanor/misc/vmmon.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) treat ~ # And the symbol reported in dmesg is init_mm I hope this is enough... Let me know if you need anything else. -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD
