   I've done a "physical to virtual" copy of my Gentoo installation (by   
   hand, no tools used) in order to experiment in it rather than in the   
   real installation.  It went smooth; just the usual "cp -a   
   /mnt/physical/* /mnt/virtual/" along with chrooting into virtual and   
   setting up grub with a previously compiled kernel and changing fstab.   
      
   I booted it in VMWare and installed the vmware-tools.  I had to create   
   the "/etc/init.d/rc{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}.d" directories first though.  The   
   tools compiled almost fine (I had to change a few typedefs due to a   
   linux header clash) and then did "rc-update add vmware-tools default".   
   However, on booting, vmware-guestd doesn't always start; sometimes it   
   does, sometimes it doesn't.  It's loaded automatically by the vmware   
   kernel modules (at least that's the plan).   
      
   Is anyone else having the same issue with vmware-guestd?
