This may be what I saw also: the standard installation does not install the kernel sources but only a compiled kernel for your system. Look in /usr/src/ to see if the the files are there. I went back to the CD's and installed the kernel sources by Yast. Everything else went fine then. Note the 850M RAM limit: if you have more than 850M RAM you must add a line to lilo at boot to limit to 850M or VM won't run. This is documented on SuSE support site. Yes, all this I know. But the version you installed was the VmWare 3.0 one from the SuSE -ROM right? This worked fine on my system too but I would like to run version 3.1.1 of VmWare which I consider being a much better one. When I try to upgrade it using the rpm packet with -Uvh I now get all

I don't know of a way to make rpm understand that two rpms with different rpm names are actually the same. I also don't understand why SuSE/vmware can't use the same rpm name (note: rpm name is not the same as the file name) as each other. An answer to either question would be greatly appreciated. I just did "rpm -e vmware" and "rpm -ivh VMware*.rpm". Your local config shouldn't be touched by this, so after running vmware-config.pl I was able to run the vmware sessions I had set up in 3.0 just fine. Also note that SuSE's default SMP kernel seems to be unusable together with vmware. I had to recompile and turn of 64GB memory support before I could get it to run. //Anders
