Hi, When starting VMware-Player I get the following message: The host's Linux kernel yield() functionality is disabled. Multiprocessor virtual machines exhibit degraded performance without yield(). Choose 'OK' to enable the sysctl 'kernel.sched_compat_yield' or 'Cancel' to continue without yield().
Looking around at VMware's site they recommend changing /etc/sysctl.conf to enable the feature: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1027987 I can do that but I'm pretty sure that if I edit that file then I'll lose the edits some day when doing etc-update's. I'm wondering if there's a more Gentoo way to turn on a kernel feature like this so that it survives updates without my full attention. Thanks, Mark
