[harry107einhalb]

Hi!
Habe mir den vmware update Patch runtergeladen der vmware nach dem updaten des Kernels wieder zum laufen bringen soll.
Jetzt hab ich den Ptach und scheitere schon dran ihn auszupacken...

MfG

Harry

hi!
so also der Patch scheint funktioniert zu haben...
allerdings wenn ich das richtig sehe nur für das vmmon module.
Jetzt bringt er mir nämlich die Execution aborted Meldung bei vmnet.

"/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl". Do you want this script to invoke the command for
you now? [yes]

The module loads perfectly in the running kernel.

This program previously created the file /dev/vmmon, and was about to remove it.
Somebody else apparently did it already.

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.

Schau mal ins Howto bezüglich Kernelquellen und make cloneconfig.

Hi,

bei mir wurde der Patch ohne Probleme installiert. Aber ich habe trotzdem ein Problem.

Ich habe SuSE 9.3 Prof. mit dem aktuelle Kernel 2.6.11.4-21.8, den man via Online-Update bekommt. Nun musste ich also die VMWare Module neu bauen. Und das geht nicht.

Ich habe also in /usr/src/linux ein make cloneconfig und make prepare gemacht. Das hat auch ohne Probleme geklappt.

Dann habe ich in /usr/bin ./vmware-config.pl ausgeführt. Ergebnis!!!

Execution aborted.

Hat da jemand einen Tip für mich?

Danke
Kester

[harry107einhalb]

also bei mir hat der Patch genau dieses Problem beseitigt.
Was aber auch nichts dran ändert das bei mir die execution aborted Meldung erst bei dem vmnet module kommt.
Hab auch in /usr/src/linux make cloneconfig und make prepare gemacht was auch funktioniert hat.
Das vmnet Problem ist aber immernoch da.

weiß auch nich weiter...

SuSE Support DB, VMWARE Support, VMWARE Forum, ...

Wenn ihr Produkte kauft, fragt doch die Hersteller.

[kmielke]

Super Antwort. Hilft wirklich sehr. Eigendlich dachte ich, das genau für solche Geschichten Foren wie diese da sind. User helfen Usern. Oder?

Dann kann man sich ja quasi direkt wieder abmelden, oder ein anderes Forum aufsuchen.

Was soll ich dir sonst sagen? Ich weiss es einfach nicht.

Was spricht denn dagegen, in den genannten Quellen zu suchen bzw. dort zu fragen? Das hat doch nichts mit der Überflüssigkeit des Forums zu tun.
