Hi,

I have trouble configuring vmware express after installing the 2.4.9 SuSE kernel. Has anyone managed to make it work?

Running vmware-config.pl it errors out with the messages I have attached. I saw the thread regarding the 2.4.7 kernel. Is there a similar patch for the 2.4.9?

This sounds very familiar. Been there, done that. :-)

Use the vmmon patches for 2.4.7 even though you have the 2.4.9 kernel. You're actually fixing vmmon, not the kernel itself. You'll get some warning messages but it will build.

I also had to comment out the line in vmware-config.pl that actually builds vmmon there, so that I could run vmmon after manually building the patched version (just "make" in its directory). You also have to manually copy the new vmmon binary to the appropriate location under /lib/modules/... (look for the other VMWare modules, and put vmmon in the same directory).

If this doesn't get you from point A to point B, e-mail me off-list and I'll send more details plus my patched vmware-config.pl file.

Hi, Your instructions were the right medicine for my vmware and it is now happily running with the 2.4.9 kernel. Thanks alot! I used the files in vmware-ws-1142-for-2.4.7.tar.gz and also did make in vmnet-only dir and ran runtime.pl in addition to vmmon. Thanks again, Jostein -
