http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551294 Summary: vmware-config fails in 2.6.31 kernel Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: RC 2 Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Compiz AssignedTo: bnc-team-compiz@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: support@microtechniques.com QAContact: ories@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) On a system upgraded from SuSE 11.1 to SuSEE 11.2 recompiling the drivers for an installed version of vmware Server 2.0.1 runing vmware-config.pl fails and you are unable to start the vmware server. This is a known problem discussed on the vmware forums on kernels > 2.5.30. None of their suggested fixes worked for me. Although this is not a SuSE issue, since it could have serious impact on shops using SuSE as a virtualization base, you might mention it in the release notes. I was able to get the vmware server to run by down-grading the kernel to 2.6.29 on the upgraded system. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.upgrade 2.vmware will not start unless you re-run vmware-config.pl 3.vmware-config.pl fails during recompile of drivers -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
