Two queries prior to a second attempt to move from 10.3 to 11:
1. Has any anyone managed to painlessly install VMWare Workstation 6.5 under 11 (i.e. without the gcc version problem that plagued 6.0.x)? (The point of the question is, that unless VMWare 6.5 goes up under 11 without problems, I'll have to stay with 10.3. My system is a production system.)
Its a bug in vmware itself, so updating linux doesn't affect it. Just tell the script to ignore the gcc version mismatch it claims to see. In fact, you might see more bugs, like this one: Oct 11 14:26:09 nimrodel kernel: vmmon: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel. Oct 11 14:26:09 nimrodel kernel: Symbol init_mm is marked as UNUSED, however this module is using it. Oct 11 14:26:09 nimrodel kernel: This symbol will go away in the future. Oct 11 14:26:09 nimrodel kernel: Please evalute if this is the right api to use, and if it really is, submit a report the linux kernel mailinglist together with submitting your code for inclusion. Oct 11 14:26:09 nimrodel kernel: /dev/vmmon[12197]: Module vmmon: registered with major=10 minor=165 Oct 11 14:26:09 nimrodel kernel: /dev/vmmon[12197]: Module vmmon: initialized Oct 11 14:26:09 nimrodel kernel: /dev/vmmon[12202]: Module vmmon: unloaded I have yet to update my vmware server to see if this one in particular is solved or not. You system being a production system, you should test it on another machine prior to upgrading.
For what it's worth, I upgraded 10.3 to 11. Would a fresh install (ugh!) solve the problem? (I can't imagine why, but sometimes the unexpected and illogical work wonders ...)
I very much doubt it. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
