Description of problem: I am running VMWare workstation on a FC3T2 host. when I run vmware-config.pl it creates a handful of nodes in /dev for use by the virtual machines. When I reboot these dissappear and I need to rerun vmware-config.pl Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: every reboot Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install VMWare 2. run vmware-config.pl 3. run vmware (works fine) 4. reboot 5. run vmware (missing nodes in /dev) Actual results: missing nodes in /dev Expected results: vmware should start right up Additional info:
This could probably be fixed by changing the way VMWare works but it might be nice if udev watches the /dev directory for new nodes being added and adds them to a list of nodes that need to be generated on reboot.

the vmware kernel modules should provide a "dev" entry in the sysfs ... Workaround: manually copy the devices to /etc/udev/devices and they will be copied on system start to /dev see: http://people.redhat.com/~harald/udev.html
