After upgrading from SuSE-9.0 to SuSE-9.2 my vmware Workstation-4 does not run anymore. I can get it installed, but on starting it says:
This version of the Linux kernel is newer than the newest series with which VMware Workstation is supported. It may or may not work. Would you like to continue?
How can I solve this problem?
Upgrade your VMware to a version that supports the 2.6.x kernel.
Eh... of course, but how? I have been searching the vmware site for quite some time without success. I may not be very clever here, and I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction on this list.
Since VMware WS 4.5 doesn't officially support the kernel in SuSE 9.2, you need to run the VMware 5 beta to successfully set your system up. http://www.vmware.com/products/desktop/ws5_beta.html
Or you could downgrade your running kernel.. :)
I have vmware version VMware-workstation-4.5.2-8848 running flawlessly on SuSE 9.2 both on regular i386 and amd64 platforms. The only problem I had was after a recent YOU kernel upgrade and that was fixed by using Petr's any-any update from platan.vc.cvut.cz via ftp in /pub/vmware. I don't think anybody needs to go to the beta version of vmware or downgrade his/her kernel. As far as running vmware on the newer kernel, there will always be this annoying message. You just have to ignore it and move on with starting vmware.
Well... Is anyone trying to actually run SuSE 9.2 under SuSE 9.2 on this list? Right when the guest OS gets to the part where it starts trying to setup the software selections, it hangs my WHOLE machine. So hard, that my reset button sometimes doesn't even set things right. I've tried the "safe" install twice, once with an additional "selinx=0 noapic" but both locked up the same way. I guess I'm ready to try the beta if my license key allows me to use it indefinitely (which I doubt). dk
