Hi !
I have SuSE 10.2 and:
kernel-default-2.6.22.2-ccj52 VMware-player-2.0.0-45731.i386
+ kernel sources and kernel syms 2.6.22.2-ccj52 installed.
For unknown reason compilation of vmware kernel modules fails:
<snip>
Unable to build the vmnet module.
Compilation of the VMware module failed because of changes in the Linux kernel, i.e. your kernel is to new and you should fallback to the latest 2.6.18 kernel.
Please, check the VMware forum for a discussion of these compilation problems. IIRC, the forum also contains some links to patches.
Regressing to 2.6.18 is not a viable option as 2.6.22 solves some issues with new motherboard hardware. The right solution is for VMware to update their product or lose the ability to have SUSE customers in the future. In the past, they have been responsive and I suspect they will be so in this case also. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
