Error: Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory.

Hi!

 

I've successfully installed vmware Workstation 8.0.1 build-528992 on LMDE running kernel 3.1.0-7.dmz.1-liquorix-686.

 

The issue is:

VM is not starting after rebooting the host.

 

It's all about this error:

Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory.
Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded.

 

There's a KB article providing a solution:

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1007454

 

However, this ain't work for my host.

In fact, run lever 5 is enabled and run levels 2, 3 are disabled for service vmware.

But the service is not starting after reboot.

 

I need to start it manually by executing

sudo /etc/init.d/vmware start

in order to get a VM to run.

 

How can I fix this issue?

 

THX
