My experience was that vmware-any-any broke things to the point where vmware didn't start at all, and the computer wouldn't shut down. I eventually removed the vmware RPM, re-installed it, and added this: for a in `seq 0 9`; do mknod /dev/vmnet$a c 119 $a; done ...to the top of my /etc/init.d/vmware file.
