 |
|
Anyone got vmware working under 2.6.0-test11?
I get errors.
Update - Working
Got it working! I used a patch set called vmware-any-any-update45. It's a has some scripts, a c file, tar files etc.. You can get it at :
http://platan.vc.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/
Download it, untar it, cd to the new created folder, su to root, type "./runme.pl", and choose yes to run vmware-config.pl. And launch vmware. It works on my system using 2.6.0-test11.
End Update

| I can't even get it to install. It tells me that it was not configured right and to run vmware-config.pl, and when I do that it says it build everything it needs for the 2.6 kernel. It does that over and over. Have you tried plex86? does it even work? |

| The problem with the error relating to the vmware-config.pl file is a lock file in the same directory (don't remember what it's called off hand) that doesn't get removed. If you manually delete the lock file you should be ready to go. |

Finally it worked. With help from gentoo mailing lists!
After merge vm-workstation the file /etc/vmware/not_configured should be erased. After that it will work! |

Thanks for the tip to that patch. I still get an error. Using mm-sources-test10...
Thanks for any help!

There is probably a slight difference in the kernel configuration between the
set of C header files you specified and your running kernel. You may want to
rebuild a kernel based on that directory, or specify another directory.
For more information on how to troubleshoot module-related problems, please
visit our Web site at "http://www.vmware.com/download/modules/modules.html" and

Don't know about your error. You might try using 2.6.0-test11, that's what I'm running.

| Actually, it was my dumb mistake. I still had vmnet module running from a previous install. |

Thanks a bunch! VMWare has had me baffled for a few days now!
