Hi,
I installed a mandriva 2008 spring guest on my "real" macintosh with vmware fusion 1.1.1 (72241). When I saw it was impossible to mount shared folders on this virtual machine, I found your website on the net. I replaced the vmhgfs.tar file in vmware-tools-distrib/lib/modules/source by the one you provides for 2.6.24 kernels.
Then I launched again all the vmware-install.pl process. This time (great job !) the compilation of vmhgfs module worked ok, but at the end, when trying to starts services, I have :
Starting VMware Tools services in the virtual machine:
Switching to guest configuration: [ OK ]
Guest filesystem driver: [ OK ]
Mounting HGFS shares: [FAILED]
Guest vmxnet fast network device: [ OK ]
DMA setup: [ OK ]
Guest operating system daemon: [ OK ]
The funny thing is that now, when I check the "Activate" box of the "Shared Folder" in the vmware fusion setup menu, it refuses to check it when I press the "apply" or "ok" button...
Of course, I can't see anything in "/mnt/hgfs/"
An idea ?
Thank's a lot for your job
Eric
