    I did some Googling after reading your post, using "udev" in the search and I
    found some information indicating that Ubuntu has the same problem (after
    reboots) with VMware but that the problem has been fixed in the Workstation 5
    beta. I will go with the beta and see if I continue having problems.

    thanks
