Actually, the necessary and sufficient steps on SUSE are:
make cloneconfig make prepare vmware-config.pl
Much faster than bzImage and modules.

Apparently, I do not completely get it. I followed this to try to install VM on new 9.2 installation and get error messages. While running vmware-config.pl I got to the line where it says no current module is ok so then asks to make a module. I said yes, and then the errors began with the conclusion that it could not build module.
What errors did you get?
Should I have run make modules and make modules-install after make cloneconfig and make prepare?
No, these steps are not needed.
I seem to recall some earlier discussion, that I did not save, about there being an appropriate module/better module already included in SuSE and to use this instead. Is this so? Where and how? Thanks for any assistance. Richard
There are no ready vmware modules included in 9.2. Moreover, vmware complaine about kernel version in 9.2 but runs fine. Worked for me on 4 systems already. Make sure that you have kernel-syms and kernel-source installed. (the latest are -2.6.8-24.5) Regards, -Kastus
