Hi,

As of yesterday (I think), VMWare 3.2.1 is no longer working on my
5-CURRENT box. When I try to start it, I get

=============================
[ltning@ranger] ~$ vmware
Setting TMPDIR=/var/tmp.


VMware Workstation Err

VMware Workstation Error:
Version mismatch with vmmon module: expecting 30.0, got 0.0.
You have an incorrect version of the `vmmon' kernel module.
Try reinstalling VMware Workstation.

Press "Enter" to continue...



^C
=============================

A ps shows some parts are still running:

[ltning@ranger] ~$ ps ax | grep vmw
  652  p1  W      0:00.10 vmware-ui -A 7 -B 4 -S -L
/var/tmp/vmware-ltning-651.
  653  p1  W      0:00.08 vmware-mks -A 8 -B
5 -S -L /var/tmp/vmware-ltning-651  663  p1  S+     0:00.01 grep vmw
=============================

And kldstat shows the vmmon module(s) are indeed loaded:

[ltning@ranger] ~$ kldstat
Id Refs Address    Size     Name
 1   16 0xc0100000 3f5758   kernel
 2    1 0xc04f6000 4930c    acpi.ko
 3    1 0xc406c000 5000     linprocfs.ko
 4    3 0xc42a2000 18000    linux.ko
 5    1 0xc41f5000 8000     vmmon_up.ko
 6    1 0xc41f1000 2000     vmnet.ko
 7    4 0xc437a000 11000    netgraph.ko
 8    2 0xc42be000 4000     ng_ether.ko
 9    1 0xc4361000 5000     ng_bridge.ko
10    1 0xc42ba000 4000     ng_socket.ko
=============================

Anyone else seeing this? Anyone have an idea how to solve it? This is
pretty bad, as I've just managed to get rid of my last Windows
workstation, which I only used to run a development SQLServer. Guess
where that DBMS (should be/is) running now.. :-/
