Suse 7.1 Vanilla kernel 2.4.17 from kernel.org Downloading and compiling the kernel went ok. The kernel booted first go. Now I would like to get vmware going. I have followed the sdb recommendation and compiled in "set version information on all module symbols" I am still getting errors. See below. Can anyone point me in the right direction ? ISDN is not working in the new kernel but works ok in my 2.4.4. Can anyone say if there are issues with 2.4.17 ? Thanks Brian Marr Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel. None of VMware's pre-built vmmon modules is suitable for your running kernel. Do you want this script to try to build the vmmon module for your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/lib/modules/2.4.17/build/include] Extracting the sources of the vmmon module.

Thanks Brian Marr ------------------------
Brian, I am running the 2.4.17-16 deflt kernel ok on my machine with 7.2 pro. Haven't noticed any oddities so far with anything, all seems to be performing quite nicely. Can't say about ISDN as I only have dialup, so maybe someone else can comment on that part. I don't seem to remember anyone complaining about the kernel version though. Good Luck on your quest!
