The vmware-kmp (together with open-vm-tools) is only to be installed in the
guest systems, thus sorry to say, this bug is invalid.
But as I'm in good mood we discussed similiar report in bug #459749 (was vmware
player, the problem is the same).
You need this script:
--- START SCRIPT ---
#/bin/sh
cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
for a in *.tar ; do tar xf $a; done
pushd vmblock-only; make; popd
pushd vmci-only; make; popd
pushd vmmon-only; make; popd
pushd vmnet-only; make; popd
cp vmci-only/Module.symvers vsock-only/
pushd vsock-only; make; popd
find -name *.ko -exec cp \
{} /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/misc/ \;
depmod -aq
--- END SCRIPT ---
and then
in /etc/init.d/vmware you would find a function vmwareLoadModule()
I suggest to change it to:
vmwareLoadModule() {
/sbin/modprobe "$1" || exit 1
return 0
}
and then of course /etc/init.d/vmware start
