How does Redhat 8 load modules? The problem is that I installed VMware, then I unistalled it, but its modules are still being loaded on boot and the /usr/lib/vmware directory still exists. The modules aren't in /etc/modules.conf, so how else can I stop then being loaded?

void main, anybody?

There is a service called "vmware" that gets installed when you install VMware that loads the modules. The service script in the same place as all the other service scripts (/etc/rc.d/init.d). It should have removed that service if you installed VMware as an RPM and removed it as an RPM (rpm -e VMwareWorkstation).
You can turn it off by doing:
# /sbin/chkconfig vmware off
stop it by doing:
# /sbin/service vmware stop
remove the service by:
# /sbin/chkconfig --del vmware
then remove the service script:
# rm -f /etc/rc.d/init.d/vmware
Then of course you could actually remove the modules by:
# rm /lib/modules/KERNELVERSION/misc/vm*
(replace KERNELVERSION with your running kernel version number), then you might want to run
# depmod -a
But just turning off the service should be enough. (http://smile.gif)
