I've just obtained 7.2 and am trying to install VMWare, however it complains it cannot compile it's kernel modules as the headers do not match the running kernel. So I tried to do a make cloneconfig and this failed with a message saying something like cloneconfig not available any ideas? On another matter, the system hangs (locks solid) when accessing my Epson Photo 750 USB printer, this worked a treat with 7.1 and kernel 2.4.0 on the same box. Any help would be appreciated.

One idea on the first problem is that you didn't install the kernel sources. On the second, I'm afraid I don't know Regards Anders On Wednesday 20 June 2001 02:50, David Bottrill wrote:

install the kernel sources ;-) in 7.2 it's not installed any more by default (not even headers) because the headers are no longer needed for application development. 7.2 comes with 100% glibc headers in /usr/include/[asm|linux], they are no longer symlinks to the kernel.

Try 2.2.19, also included in 7.2.
VMware requires the kernel sources to compile its modules, not the glibc headers. Try installing the sources of the kernel you are running, do a "make cloneconfig" and "make dep" to get your tree configured. Then, run vmware-config.pl. Note: SuSE distributes kernel binaries with version 2.4.4-4GB, or something like that. The way they implement that in the kernel Makefile, will not be reflected when you "make dep" the source tree. If you get an error message from vmware-config.pl about kernel version mismatch, could you report back? we'll work from there if you have problems. -- Rafael
Thanks for the help guy's, it was 2am in the morning and I had installed the vanilla kernel not the suse kernel, silly me, hence no cloneconfig. I have now installed the 2.2.19 kernel and VMWare runs although it says the network bridge is down so I need to look into that, as regards my USB printer I haven't tried it yet with this kernel. By the way I am using a SMP kernel with a pair of PIII 450s. I installed 7.2 on my IBM Thinkpad T21 this afternoon and the installation was faultless everything works including VMWare. Many thanks SuSE for another superb version David Bottrill
