[opensuse] Vmware won't compile because kernel-source-2.6.18.1-24.4 != kernel-default-2.6.18.1
Hello all, I can't use Vmware anymore more if I update to a newer kernel using smart. Reason: the Vmware module won't compile any more because the kernel header version doesn't match the kernel version Now I know that I can use the orginal kernel and kernel sources that came on the 10.1 CDs but why is the kernel-source-2.6.18.1-24.4 version all of the sudden different from the kernel-default-2.6.18.1. This normally isn't the case. Why this mismatch all of the sudden? http://software.opensuse.org/download/repositories/Kernel/SUSE_Linux_10.1/i5...

Hi James,
That would happend if install the sources after you update the kernel,
what I mean is I installed the os and updated the kernel and then I
installed the sources to compile VMware and got an error message about
a mismatch. You have to also reboot in some situations like after
performing an update and selecting to keep the sources, they will be
the new version while the running kernel the old one. If none of these
help try the Vmware forums people were extereemly helpful there in my
case.

Best I can suggest for James to try is install the kernel-source src.rpm from http://software.opensuse.org/download/repositories/Kernel/SUSE_Linux_10.1/sr... and compile it.

That's what I've had to do to overcome this problem with asterisk zaptel
drivers and ndiswrapper, after that vmware had no problems. I'm sure
this will cause lots of queries on various lists.

OK, good -- confirmation, I hope, that building from kernel-source-2.6.18.1-24.4.i586.src.rpm will in fact produce kernel-*-2.6.18.1-24.4.<whatever>.rpm -- after I posted my message, I began to think that just possibly the final kernel*.rpm's might be incorrectly named :-) -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
