Hi,
I installed the vmware-module and vmware-2.04 from
the current pkgsrc. But when i reboot my system it
gives some errors, when it tries to load the
modules
Starting vmmon
Module loaded as ID 0
mknod: invalid major number
chmod: /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory
Starting vmnet
Module loaded as ID 1
mknod: invalid major number
mknod: invalid major number
mknod: invalid major number
mknod: invalid major number
chmod: /dev/vmnet0: No such file or directory
chmod: /dev/vmnet1: No such file or directory
chmod: /dev/vmnet2: No such file or directory
chmod: /dev/vmnet3: No such file or directory
Starting vmnetif
/dev/vmnet1: No such file or directory
If i do a modstat i see that the modules are loaded
Type Id Off Loadaddr Size Info Rev Module Name
DEV 0 -65442 cb6b9000 0018 cb6bcb80 1 vmmon
DEV 1 -65441 cb6bf000 0008 cb6c0b60 1 vmnet
I think he tries to make a device at -65442 0
Anyone got an idea, i'm running out of them.
I'm running
NetBSD vilya.pqdot.net 1.6I NetBSD 1.6I (VILYA) #0: Sat Oct 12 01:31:03 UTC 2002 root@vilya.pqdot.net:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/VILYA i386
With LKM and linux emulation support
