Avi,

I am used to rolling my own kernels and this is the first time I have used a pre-built kernel rpm. I simply followed the directions. Where would I look for the kernel headers? I only dl'd k_deflt and ran it. I did not dl k*.src.rpm. Did I omit something in running the kernel rpm?

Thanks,

Keith B.

I have installed VMWare 3.0 beta on my 7.2 machine today. You no longer need the 'special' vmmon patch but you need the kernel headers installed. When you install vmware, it will tell you it cannot find a proper module and offer to build one for you. Say yes and make sure the path it shows you is the correct one.

There is also a bug I found in the installation. If you had version 2 running and you did not shut it down manually, the installation program does not remove the already loaded vmware modules and when it tries to load the new version it fails and tells you it could not find a proper module for your kernel.

Hello All,

Before you all get upset, I know this has been discussed before, but I cannot find the answers. I downloaded the VMWare 3.0 beta. I have SuSE 7.2 now upgraded to 2.4.7-4GB kernel from ftp.suse.com. I am trying to install the beta. I searched and found the replacement for vmmon.tar (vmmon-for-2.4.7-only.tar.gz) and have followed the instructions to the T. However, when I run vmware-config.pl, it still complains it cannot find a suitable module for my kernel.

Those of you who have successfully installed 2.04 under SuSE 7.2 w/2.4.7- 4GB kernel, could you point me in the right direction. I would be much obliged.

Thank you in advance. Regards,

Keith B.
