[rhelv6-list] rhel6 on esx 3.5

I'm currently testing RHEL6 on ESX 3.5.

RHEL6 now uses dracut instead of mkinitrd to create initrd files and the only vmware tools version I could find that would detect this and use dracut was the most recent one I could find via google:

   VMwareTools-4.0.0-261974.tar.gz

This version installs successfully on RHEL6 and seems to work fine with ESX 3.5 (so far).

One thing, after the install you should add a ".conf" extension to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/vmware-tools to get rid of the warning at boot time.  All files in /etc/modprobe.d/ need a ".conf" extension now.

Cheers,

Tim.

Is anyone running RHEL6 under esx 3.5 (update 5)?  Any gotchas or
issues?  The only vmtools I've seen mentioned for RHEL6 are for 4.1+.
