soI don't know how or where it puts things. I use the path
'/usr/src/linux/include' during the install though I have heard
(conflicting)opinions on the path you used. snip The thing that really
confuses me is that I installed vmware from there web site on another Gentoo
box. The install went good and I started to build VM's. I came in a day
laterand none of my VM's will start. Nothing...nada....weird! Have any idea
on this one? Tim Sometimes if the 'hostonly or NAT' doesn't start the
not_configured message appears. Look in 'var/log/*', this is from the vmware
news groups. another good source of help. Vmware runs it own news server,
news.vmware.com, though google probably picks it up.

I'mmay be playing dirty...
I went and coped the sysrq.ver file from my gentoo box onto the new box I'm
building. Ran the install script again and it installed and prompted me for
configuration.
Now is the test as I try to install a few VM's. I'm not sure why the new
boxusing gentoo-sources did not have the sysrq.ver file - yet my box with
ck1sources did....
Thanks for the help aklug your comments lead me to the resolution.
