Now all is well, except that the patches are > missing (if there are any that are needed). Ah, that might be it.... I have never applied the vmware-any-any patch to 5.5.2 (I did on 5.5.1 - up through 102), but I had grabbed the 5.5.2 rpm pretty much the day it came out and it worked, so I never even looked for the patch on the new install I did last week.... I must admit to not having "stress-tested" 5.5.2 yet, just confirmed that my Windows XP Guest booted and my one app worked, but haven't been back in since then.... Admittedly, I have usually had good luck with the patches from petr.... Guess this one might be an oooops.... Perhaps the patch 104 pre-dates 5.5.2? I wonder if Kam also applied the patches, as that might demonstrate a pattern.... :-) --Rob
Previous installation had the 101 patch. By the way, the tarball installation also removed the troubled 5.5.2 rpm package and left the system is a state where vmware-config.pl ran successfully. It will be my first choice for the next update.
