Hi all, I am running SuSE Linux 9.3 with kernel 2.6.11 and tried to install VMWare 5.0. While doing an online update the latest patches have been applied to the stock kernel. Now, 'uname -r' gives '2.6.11.4-21.9-default' which is obviously different from the previous stock kernel version 2.6.11.4.-20a-default. So far so good. When trying to install VMWare 5.0 the installation routine prompts for my kernel includes of the running kernel. The SuSE kernel sources have been installed to /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.4.-20a. No sources have been placed in /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.4-21.9 the source directory of my running kernel, except for two headers, namely autoconf.h and version.h. My /usr/src directory contains the following entries: linux:/usr/src # ls -la total 2 drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 384 2005-10-01 11:41 . drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 344 2005-08-13 19:41 .. drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 776 2005-08-13 19:21 dicts drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 736 2005-08-13 19:26 kernel-modules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2005-10-01 11:40 linux -> linux-2.6.11.4-20a drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 720 2005-10-01 11:41 linux-2.6.11.4-20a drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 72 2005-03-24 02:04 linux-2.6.11.4-20a-obj drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 96 2005-09-09 19:44 linux-2.6.11.4-21.8 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 72 2005-10-01 11:40 linux-2.6.11.4-21.9 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 72 2005-08-19 18:48 linux-2.6.11.4-21.9-obj lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2005-10-01 11:41 linux-obj -> linux-2.6.11.4-20a-obj/ drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 168 2005-08-13 19:57 packages VMWare does not allow compilation of required kernel modules for the running kernel stating that it can't find the appropriate headers in /usr/src/linux: "The directory of kernel headers (version 2.6.11.4-20a-default) does not match your running kernel (version 2.6.11.4-21.9-default). Even if the module were to compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel." I understand what is going on, but I don't know what to do next to fix this problem. Suggestions highly welcome. Thanks. Regards \Steve
