I am trying to install VMware-gsx-3.1.0-9089 on my gentoo 2005.0 / kernel 2.6.11-r6 machine.
The scripts keeps nagging with the following message :
Unable to make a vmnet module that can be loaded in the running kernel:
insmod: error inserting '/tmp/vmware-config4/vmnet.o': -1 Unknown symbol in module
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
"http://www.vmware.com/support/reference/linux/prebuilt_modules_linux.html".
thefirst link doesnt work, the second states that i shouldrecompile my kernel blabla, none of their suggestions make a difference..
anyone here hbas the same problem ?? |

I tried the make modules, just to be sure.. makes no difference :
# ./vmware-install.pl
Creating a new installer database using the tar3 format.
Installing the content of the package.
In which directory do you want to install the binary files?
[/usr/bin]
What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)?
[/etc/init.d]
What is the directory that contains the init scripts?
[/etc/init.d]
In which directory do you want to install the daemon files?
[/usr/sbin]
In which directory do you want to install the library files?
[/usr/lib/vmware]

The installation of VMware GSX Server 3.1.0 build-9089 for Linux completed
successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any
time by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall.pl".
Before running VMware GSX Server for the first time, you need to configure it by
invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl". Do you want this
program to invoke the command for you now? [yes]
Making sure services for VMware GSX Server are stopped.
Stopping VMware services:

You must read and accept the End User License Agreement to continue.
Press enter to display it.
"/usr/share/doc/vmware/EULA" may be a binary file. See it anyway?
Do you accept? (yes/no) yes
Thank you.
Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware GSX Server is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]
Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r6/build/include]

First, go to VMWare forums at http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=11623&tstart=0 and read the posts. Then, grab "vmware-any-any-update90.tar.gz" (or newer if available) from http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/. Extract the file to somewhere (/tmp comes to mind) and apply the update (runme.pl). Then try vmware-config.pl again and it "should work".
The prebuilt modules available from VMWare are of no help to someone outside of the "supported" distributions. Since you have such a new kernel, your only help is to use the vmware-any-any-* packages. Just don't expect any help from VMWare, and don't try to use these configurations on a production system. _________________ "Intellectual Property" should be an affront to anyone capable of independent thought. |

Yes, except it stops at vmmon instead of vmnet. Tried the update, same result as before.
What now? |

Thanks, Shapemaker. You Da Man! Used the patch for 2.6.11-gentoo-r8 and it worked. |
