I would not install VMWare from the RPM packages, I've never had much luck with that. Download the source and install (it's still very simple). Once this is done then run the any-any-update and you should be fine. Also what version of VMWare are you trying to install? Ben On Saturday 30 June 2007 08:00, Erik Jakobsen wrote:

Hi Jon and thanks for your reply.
the kernel source as above. You're not running the Xen kernel by any chance are you?
First of all, can you double check that your running kernel version matches
Sure I can:
Linux lajka3 2.6.18.8-0.3-default #1 SMP Tue Apr 17 08:42:35 UTC 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
But I'm not sure it should be SMP, and cannot remember what SMP is ?
I'm not sure, that I ran Xen kernel at the point of updating VMware.
Could be, because after a reboot -yes you are reading right :-) - I could run the vmware-config.pl ok
At the very simplest, the script cannot build the vmmon kernel module :-) The real question, of course, is why is it exiting out. VMware workstation is pretty straightforward on 10.2. If it's still failing miserably, you could try using the any-any update from here: http://en.opensuse.org/Setting_up_VMware_on_SUSE_Linux#Download_and_Apply _vmware-any-any-update
Hope this helps, Jon
Then I came to the point where I could start up VMware, but got this:
"The network bridge on device /dev/vmnet0 is temporarily down because the bridged Ethernet interface is down".
What should I do now ?
