Hi Thomas, A possibly easier option for 1 is to un-install the ethtool rpm, which if my (slightly vague) recollection is correct is the tool which causes the RH9 check_link_down() in network-functions to fail.
Note too, RH9's XFree86 doesn't work inside VMware either, as they deliberately disable the vmware driver. (It's deleted from the rpm) Mark On Tue, 2003-07-01 at 21:00, Thomas Naughton wrote: > RH9.0 guest vmware issues: > * See Knowledge Base at http://www.vmware.com/support/ > > 1.
