not an openSUSE issue, but maybe others are also affected: problem: vmware modules won't build on current kernel 4.6 fix [1] I) vmnet.tar - untar (i.e. aunpack) - change ./vmnet-only/userif.c - replace all: "get_user_pages" to "get_user_pages_remote" - make - cd.. II) vmmon.tar - untar (i.e. aunapck) - change ./vmmon-only/linux/hostif.c - replace all: "get_user_pages" to "get_user_pages_remote" - make - cd.. III) install modules (superuser) [2] cp vmmon.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/misc/vmmon.ko cp vmnet.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/misc/vmnet.ko depmod -a /etc/init.d/vmware restart HTH tested working.
