I certainly wish SUSE and VMWare would get together and solve the problems getting them to work together. I have followed all the instructions both on the SUSE db and and the VMWare troubleshooting site, and I can't VMWare 4 to run on SUSE. The latest attempt ended with vmware-config.pl aborting when I followed the SUSE advice on vmmon.o.
This is getting silly. I depend on VMWare to run some Windows programs with no Linux substitutes. For now, I'm running it only on one of my laptops with 8.2 installed. This is a royal pain.
This is a royal pain. A previous poster gave this suggestion which worked for my desktop and laptop. install the -144 kernel (no need to reboot) copy the vm* modules someplace safe install the -166 kernel copy the vm* modules to the misc directory if the not-configured file exists in /etc/vmware delete it reboot and you should have a running vmware.
