Just a follow up on this:
I had to modify the script /etc/init.d/vmware;
the change was like this:
vmwareLoadModule() {
/sbin/insmod -s -f "/lib/modules/`uname
-r`/kernel/drivers/misc/$1.ko" || exit 1
return 0
}
The line with insmod did not contain kernel/drivers/misc, but only misc.
Thus it failed. With this change now applied, vmware seems to start up
finally and machines seem to boot including network access.
Why not simply use "/sbin/modprobe $1" There? This would take care of it
all in my opinion.
Wohoo ;)
