Hi-- I lost vmlinuz's for kernels in /usr/src/ so I can't boot the previous 5.7.11 kernel hence no VMware.
this is the *source* path, necessary to compile vmware modules, not to boot the system (except if you compile your kernel yourself) boot kernels are in /boot
- VMware will not run on kernel 5.8; as it connects it spontaneously re- boots the entire machine with no warning.
odd... but anyway to be able to compile any module, and use it, the source have to be the same than the booted kernel uname -a should give you the name of the running kernel.
- I need a previous kernel. Google shows no such for openSUSE
openSUSE is not android, no google here. look in yast, search for "kernel", I'm pretty sure you will have a choice. Check is "source" repo is present and load any and the source equivalent (installing the headers is enough)
_ In my wisdom I removed kernel 5.8 with YaST but it removed all my previous kernels and left my with 4.13's where did they come from?
you are probably looking in the *source* repo, not is the main one
- What are these files: ls -l /usr/src
you can remove them before going to yast, if needed they will be reinstalled, probably a remain of previous compilations, not is the removed package so left in place jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
