Yes *but* when I followed the directions, vmware runs fine but no sound on the Sb Live 128 I have. So I had to reload the stock SuSE kernel. Now I have vmware and sound :-) /Dee "Robert C. Paulsen Jr." <paulsen@texas.net> wrote:
I believe the file
/usr/src/linux-2.4.4.SuSE/include/linux/version.h
will be created when you do the following:
1. Install the kernel sources. This should create and populate /usr/src/linux-2.4.4.SuSE 2. Create the correct configuration file as follows: make cloneconfig make menuconfig You don't need to change any configuration options while in menuconfig but you do need to save the configuration when you exit. 3. Build the modules: make dep make modules That last step (make modules) will take a long time, but once it is complete vmware will be able to build its modules.
The above worked for me -- the VMWare installation went OK, including the building of its modules.
NOTE: There is no need to build the kernel nor to install the modules. I suspect that things will be in good enough shape for vmware before the make modules completes, but I did let it run to completion myself.
NOTE 2: The above description differs from what SuSE has on its web site. What I have described is simpler and since it doesn't install a self-made kernel you haven't voided your support agreement as you do when following SuSE's directions.
