the fact that I post this thread in -Factory should have been information enough to show that 'maybe' I'm using openSUSE Factory ;) but well... Here the 'steps' I had to go through now to get my VMware 6.5 (release, not RC) running. su - rpm -ihv VMware-Workstation-6.5.0-118166.x86_64.rpm 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/2.6.27.1-2-default/kernel/drivers/misc/ \; depmod -aq then modify the script /etc/init.d/vmware, at line 122 (the vmwareLoadModule() function), replace the line /sbin/insmod -s -f "/lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/$1.ko" with /sbin/insmod -s -f "/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/misc/$1.ko" then /etc/init.d/vmware start and vmware can be used. All this has been reported the vmware already of course and I hope we can expect a solution for this before openSUSE 11.1 hits the shelfs.
