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. George On 11/17/06, James PEARSON <pearson44j@wanadoo.fr> wrote:
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?

Normally the openSUSE kernel matches the kernel-source (ex. on the 10.1 CDs): kernel-source-2.6.16.21-0.25 kernel-default-2.6.16.21-0.25
All comments welcome.
TIA James
