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.
I think you probably need the headers for the kernel.... I assume when it says it can't find an appropriate module that you let it try to compile one? Then maybe it can't find the headers? You'll have to get the headers from some place on SuSE. Since I never use the SuSE stuff for the kernel, I wouldn't have an answer for that. In my view, you should go straight to kernel.org and get their files and do the kernel from scratch. Much better-er. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
