CentOS - Sep 2005 - Does anyone use VMWare 4.5.2 on CentOS 4?

I'm trying to use my copy and whenever I reboot I have to reconfigure
everything again using vmware-config.pl. Any idea why I might have to do
this? Is there something about the way services are setup under CentOS 4
or something?

Preston

Try the last version 5.x.x

Try (as root):

vmware-config.pl
cp -a /dev/vm* /etc/udev/devices

I see the same issue!  I have about 30 copies of vmware 4.5.2 that do
this on reboot.  I am going to try the solution:

Try (as root):

vmware-config.pl
cp -a /dev/vm* /etc/udev/devices

As I believe this may work...

	I've had similar problems since upgrading my devel box to FC4.  I also
get a strangeness where vmware-config.pl runs fine the first time you
use it but if you run it again it sends itself to the background and
waits.  Once this has happened any program that is run, via command line
or gui or cron will kick itself to the bg and wait.  Nothing is visible
yet the programs are in ps.
