    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.. :-/
