After upgrade to 2.6.28, vmware workstation does not start
After upgrading to the 2.6.28 kernel, vmware does not start. It complains with:
Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory.
Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded.
I have found that I can run the following command to load the modules:
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
But after a reboot, the modules aren't loaded again.
Not sure how to get the modules to autoload properly.

you need to recompile the modules.
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

The vmware-modconfig command does recompile them I believe. But they still don't auto-load

Is mkvmdev in your array daemons in rc.conf ?

Re: After upgrade to 2.6.28, vmware workstation does not start
You need to go to the wiki under Installing VMware.
Search until you find 2. Start and stop script
Create the script in /etc/rc.d directory and make sure you chmod 755 the file.
Add mkvmdev to the rc.conf file under daemons.
This should now work properly.
I was able to get it working using Vmplayer.
