Apparently, I do not completely get it. I followed this to try to install VM on new 9.2 installation and get error messages. While running vmware-config.pl I got to the line where it says no current module is ok so then asks to make a module. I said yes, and then the errors began with the conclusion that it could not build module. Should I have run make modules and make modules-install after make cloneconfig and make prepare? I seem to recall some earlier discussion, that I did not save, about there being an appropriate module/better module already included in SuSE and to use this instead. Is this so? Where and how? Thanks for any assistance. Richard
Thanks for taking the time to respond: as it turned out, the problem was with my x86_64 system, that VMWare is not quite ready for "this" primetime. Suggestion from Joe Morris with link to ...any..patch seems to have worked. Response quoted below: "I just googled, and came up with this patch.
