Vmnet are loose each time that I reboot my computer

Vmnet are loose each time that I reboot my computer

Hi all, I have a little problem, I'm working with vmware server 1.0.5 on fedora core 8. I have mutli boot on this computer, each time that I reboot and restart vmware I have this error message:

could not open /dev/

vmnet5: No such file or directory

Virtual device Ethernet1 will start disconnected

It is anoying because I need to launch all the time (at each reboot) vmware-config.pl

There a solution for avoid this ??

thanks.

Regard, Gregory.

I found a solution:

in /etc/init.d/vmware serach line "See how" and add after the "start(" following code

for a in `seq 0 9`; do

mknod /dev/vmnet$a c 119 $a > /dev/null 2>&1

done

mknod /dev/vmmon c 10 165 > /dev/null 2>&

After restart vmware service /etc/init.d/vmware restart and there no more error message about vmnet that does not exist.
