Hi gyus... does some one has successfully installed VMWare 3.x under SuSE > 7.3 using the Default Kernel that came with 7.3 ?
Dunno, I wasn't going to fork out big bucks for 3.x, but you could always try to follow the instructions for 2.0.4. Most likely the problems and solutions are identical. If you let me know how you got on, I could add it to the page. http://volker.orcon.net.nz/linux/ Volker
I just got an email from VMware saying that they have discontinued Express and are offering Workstation for $99. Although I already have Express, it is worth it to me to ensure that I get continued support and won't have to pay "big bucks" a couple years from now to support the 3.x Kernel (for example). I successfully installed Workstation 3.0 from the SuSE 7.3 distro will no problems. I removed it them to install the Express 2.0 I had purchased. Sorry to say, for me it "just worked".

I've updated 7.3 to the mantel 2.4.16 kernel, then I installed VMwareWorkstation-3.0.0-1455 I've followed Volker's suggestions but when I try to run vmware it tells me that it is not configured for my running kernel. I've tried applying the update patch for 1455 but that makes no difference. I don't get any error messages during the run of vmware-config.pl so what is going wrong? This is driving me nuts....................!!! Thanks David On Tuesday 04 December 2001 7:24 pm, you wrote:

Hi ! I got more or less the same problem. My SuSE 7.1pro was installed with kernel 2.4.0, vmware-config.pl ran OK. Later I ran 2.4.7 rpm upgrade for 7.1 (downloaded from SuSE ftp). When trying to configure vmware, got the answer that not configured for the kernel and that C directory is lacking. Later, with mantel's 2.4.16, the same occured. How is that C to be set up ? Rgds to all J.Boboli PS hylafax and kghostview still unresolved : have saved root and home files to other partition, will erase this one and install again from scratch. David Robertson wrote:

Simple to fix.... try going to /lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/misc/vmmon.o and rename that file to anything..... as in: vmmon.o.73orig There's also a stash of modules down in /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary/xxxxxxx/objects/vmmon.o where xxxx is the version info for your distro. I don't think you'll have to touch those. vmware-config.pl should then recompile a new module for 2.4.16. Did for me. You'll get a few compile errors, but they're just warnings.
Thanks
David
