Dear LFS developers! Recently I've built my LFS/BLFS system in VMware Player environment up to running KDE desktop. And I got a problem when I decided to instal VMware tools to have convenient integration with host system: some modules of VMware tools failed to start.
After some time spent on reading the internet, turning on logging, reading tools bootscript file, I finally found the problem: the bootscript was checking if a kernel module is loaded with /sbin/lsmod which was not installed. Latest LFS book recommends creating all Kmod Module-Init-Tools compatibility symlinks in /sbin , exept /bin/lsmod (I guess so regular users can check for loaded kernel modules without /sbin in their $PATH). May be one more symlink should be added to avoid such problems as was mine?
