Symptoms

If the host is running on SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 Service Pack 2 or OpenSUSE 11, VMware Workstation fails to load when restarting the host after the initial installation

You see the errors:

Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory.
Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded.

The network bridge on device /dev/vmnet0 is not running.
The virtual machine will not be able to communicate with the host or with other machines on your network. Virtual device Ethernet0 will start disconnected.

Resolution

This issue is resolved in Workstation 6.5.4, but is present in Workstation 7 and 8. You can download the latest version of Workstation 6.5.x from our Download Center.

To ensure that the host starts after the first installation:

Install VMware Workstation.

Disable runlevels 2 and 3. To do so:

In SUSE 10:

Open a command prompt. For more information, see Opening a command or shell prompt (1003892).

Run these commands:

su -

Note: Enter your SUSE password when prompted. For security reasons, the typed password is not displayed.

chkconfig --list vmware

Note: The output displays the run levels assigned to vmware:
vmware 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off

chkconfig --level 5 vmware on

chkconfig --list vmware

Note: The output appears, confirming the change to run level 5 only:
vmware 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:on 6:off

In SUSE 11:

Go to Yast > System > System Services(Runlevel) >Expert Mode.

Uncheck levels 2 and 3.

Restart your host operating system.
