But the error persists. No, I do not start with the 001.vmware.sh script - when I run it with the 'start' argument, all it does is echo the word: VMware and does not do anything. I can start vmware by simply typing "vmware" at a prompt, but the script itself does nothing at all (except echo the word "VMware"). THe same is true if I run it with an absolute path: /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/001.vmware.sh start Everything else seems to be set up just fine ... kldstat shows me: Id Refs Address Size Name 1 17 0xc0400000 39bb3c kernel 2 7 0xc079c000 1adb8 linux.ko 3 1 0xc07b7000 4a47b4 nvidia.ko 4 1 0xc0c5c000 59f20 acpi.ko 5 1 0xc6da9000 8000 vmmon_up.ko 6 1 0xc6db1000 2000 vmnet.ko 7 1 0xc6db3000 4000 if_tap.ko 8 1 0xc6dba000 6000 linprocfs.ko 9 1 0xc6dc0000 2000 rtc.ko and I have the linprocfs mounted, the apic hint in place, etc. Comments ? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
