I think it's a bug somewhere, but am not really sure. I think it's that something gets crossed up with kernel versions in the VMware Server configuration. What I usually do to fix the problem - believe it or not - is to shutdown and reboot the server. Twice. What this seems to do is to force VMware to figure out that it isn't properly configured and then allows you to run vmware-config.pl successfully. As to the questions about selinux and the firewall: - Yes, selinux must be disabled. Nobody has yet figured out exactly why. It's an ongoing issue. Permissive mode doesn't cut it. But you can disable it from the selinux menu (System --> Administration --> SELinux Administration). - No you do NOT have to disable the firewall. But you DO have to allow communication on ports 901, 902, 8222, and 8333. I usually open them up for both TCP and UDP, even though UDP is probably not needed. Hope that helps!
