Upgrade your VMware to a version that supports the 2.6.x kernel.
Eh... of course, but how? I have been searching the vmware site for quite some time without success. I may not be very clever here, and I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction on this list.
Since VMware WS 4.5 doesn't officially support the kernel in SuSE 9.2, you need to run the VMware 5 beta to successfully set your system up. http://www.vmware.com/products/desktop/ws5_beta.html Or you could downgrade your running kernel.. :) Anders Norrbring

I have vmware version VMware-workstation-4.5.2-8848 running flawlessly on SuSE 9.2 both on regular i386 and amd64 platforms. The only problem I had was after a recent YOU kernel upgrade and that was fixed by using Petr's any-any update from platan.vc.cvut.cz via ftp in /pub/vmware. I don't think anybody needs to go to the beta version of vmware or downgrade his/her kernel. As far as running vmware on the newer kernel, there will always be this annoying message. You just have to ignore it and move on with starting vmware. Alex.

Well... Is anyone trying to actually run SuSE 9.2 under SuSE 9.2 on this list? Right when the guest OS gets to the part where it starts trying to setup the software selections, it hangs my WHOLE machine. So hard, that my reset button sometimes doesn't even set things right. I've tried the "safe" install twice, once with an additional "selinx=0 noapic" but both locked up the same way. I guess I'm ready to try the beta if my license key allows me to use it indefinitely (which I doubt). dk

Although I *am* running the beta, I don't think it is true that the 4.5 version will not run under 2.6.x. I believe I had it running under a vanilla 2.6.9 kernel. (and I guess I may have to go back to 4.5 to prove that to myself)

I have the VMware Beta 5 running perfectly under the SuSE 9.2 Standard 2.6.x-Kernel without any problems. bis dahin/kind regards Martin Mewes -- Member of the Webmin Translation Team http://www.webmin.com/ http://webmin.mamemu.de/ Debian, SuSE, Securityfocus and Webmin - Mailinglist mboxes http://mbox.mewes.tv/mbox/

Though I am no expert, and only have my own experience, I suspect that the issue may be i386 vs x86_64. VMWare 4.5 flat out refused to install for me on 2.6.8.xx without employing the anyany... patch referenced in another email. I had no problem before going to x86_64 processor and kernel. Currently I run 2.6.8-24.5, have been loath to upgrade via online update to xxx-24.10 and have to hope the anyany patch will work again. I am sure I would have to re-compile, run it. Ditto for nvidia driver. Currently I stick my chin out and boldly say, "if it ain't broke..." Even at this, when opening VMWare it still warns me that my kernel is not supported, that results may be erratic and unreliable and that's just my tough luck until things get updated or I quit trying to run stuff that is not supported yet. Ok, not exactly those words. I am interested in how stable/useful the new beta is, particularly if using it may handle the USB problems I was never able to resolve: Win98SE guest could never recognize the USB port where my palm was, so could never sync it. It could only see my webcam, which it did not support or run anyway. My $.03. Richard

It sure does. I run the 2.6.8-24.10 kernel both on i386 and on amd64 and on both vmware works just fine.

Vmware 4.52 runs just fine in 9.1 with a 2.6.x kernel all that's needed is the usual make prepare, cloneconfig, vmware-install.pl d. On Monday 10 January 2005 03:18, Bruce Marshall wrote:
