Thanks for the walkthrough. This worked for me with vmware esxi 4.1.0 on i686 with kernel 2.6.34-gentoo-r1

Matt,

I added mkinitrd to the emerge portion of the checklist.

Thanks very much for this tutorial. It worked for me except for one thing. I needed to

emerge mkinitrd

before running vmware-config-tools.pl. I wish Gentoo’s documentation was more up-to-date/complete for things like this.

Thanks again
Matt
