I found vmware-any-any-update-116.tg on http://blog.creonfx.com/.

Applying this patch fixex the EPOLL problem.

Re: VMware Workstation 6.0.2 build-59824 and 2.6.24 kernel...

Hi -- I'm running Fedora 8 PAE (kernel 2.6.24.3-12.fc8PAE). I've installed VMware-workstation-6.0.2-59824 from the tarball and applied vmware-any-any-update115a. The patch issued the following messages:

# ./runme.pl
Updating /usr/bin/vmware ... No patch needed/available
Updating /usr/bin/vmnet-bridge ... No patch needed/available
Updating /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx ... No patch needed/available
Updating /usr/lib/vmware/bin-debug/vmware-vmx ... No patch needed/available
VMware modules in "/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source" has been updated.

When I run vmware-config.pl, I get the same errors in vmmon:

First question: was the output from applying update115a correct?

Second question: anyone have a suggestion about fixing the type conflict error?

If your guest is Windows, try starting the VMWare Descheduler service. Also, I've seen those issues if the Windows Time service was still running, and Time Sync with Host wasn't enabled.

THis is a fantastic read on the issue of timing in guests: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware_timekeeping.pdf

Re: VMware Workstation 6.0.2 build-59824 and 2.6.24 kernel...

mbeierl — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 20:41:03 GMT

Anyone else have the issue of linux guests on 2.6.24 hosts having significant timekeeping issues (ie: issuing sleep 1 takes 10 seconds to complete)?

Re: VMware Workstation 6.0.2 build-59824 and 2.6.24 kernel...

docsmooth — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 17:45:56 GMT

116 was posted by someone here as a workaround to get 6.0.2 working on 2.6.24-rc6 or -rc7 that I've held on to. I found it on the same FTP site where I've gotten update114, update115, and, now, update116, but can't find it in my history atm.

I booted back to 2.6.22-generic (ubuntu x86_64), and reinstalled 6.0.2 and my VMs are working. I'll just deal with my battery life and updated NVidia drivers later on, when i don't need the VMs as badly (today I'm in there heavily, so won't be donig any more testing till tonight or this weekend.

fboudra — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 17:29:44 GMT

Debian 64-bit / stock kernel (from Sid) / 6.0.0 and 6.0.2

for 6.0.0, you need to edit VMMON_VERSION_V6 value in vmmon.tar:

vmmon-only/include/iocontrols_compat.h:18:#define VMMON_VERSION_V6 (167 << 16 | 0)

replace 167 by 161 :

#define VMMON_VERSION_V6 (161 << 16 | 0)

it's a workaround for vmmon version compatibility.

PS: I didn't found v116 you talk about. any link ?

Re: VMware Workstation 6.0.2 build-59824 and 2.6.24 kernel...

docsmooth — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 15:54:50 GMT

Debian 32-bit? 64-bit? custom or stock kernel? Workstation 6.0.0? 6.0.01? 6.0.02?

My system continues to freeze upon bootup of guests. With any-any-update115a, the vmware BIOS logo doesn't come up, but the actual freeze doesn't happen for about 45 seconds, rather than immediately with 116.

So yeah, everything compiles, but that doesn't mean it's working here.

Pavlinux:

I'm hoping that you can provide some better instructions, because it seems as though you're a talented module hacker. Unfortunately, I can't yet get your hack to work:

Linux localhost 2.6.24-20080124a #1 SMP Thu Jan 24 22:51:52 CST 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux (custom 2.6.24 on Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy with Intel Paravirtualization)

~/vmware-distrib/vmware-install.pl extracted straight from 6.0.2 download fails as others have mentioned many times.

~/vmware-any-any-update116/runme.pl runs fine. modules compile. services start.
However, starting any virtual machine (paravirtual support on or off in the VM) causes the entire host to hang. Appears that it locks the system in a top-most IRQL (255 on x86_64, IIRC?), because no interrupt appears to be serviced (no NIC activity light, no keyboard indicator light) No info in /var/log/messages, nor anywhere else I can find, and I don't have a serial port on this laptop to attach a debugger to (nor a debugger available).

Running your runme.pl from the latest download gives the error that cozmic posted - replayed in full below. I'm attaching my .config for reference, and will PM you some extra contact info if you want some extra testing assistance. I'm unfortunately not a programmer or code-jockey by any means - just a resourceful sysadmin. If anyone else has any thoughts/suggestions, please let us know.

sblantipodi - can you post 'uname -rm' or 'uname -a'? IE: is it x86_64 or i386 that it works on?

pav: I'll test:

1) extract Workstation 6.0.2
2) Run ./vmware-install.pl but NOT run "vmware-config.pl"
3) extract and run "runme.pl" from vmware-any-any-update-116
4) run vmware-config.pl
5) find and replace modules you just posted
6) /etc/init.d/vmware restart
7) see if the entire host still hangs on any guest startup (which is what currently happens with existing vmware-any-any-update-116)

questions: what's different about these modules you posted? Are my steps above correct? YOu haven't provided a lot of documentation on these posts, so I want to make sure I have them clear.

VMware Workstation 6.0.2 build-59824 and 2.6.24 kernel...

sblantipodi — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 18:54:48 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to use VMware Workstation 6.0.2 build-59824 with the new Linux 2.6.24 kernel...

With 2.6.23 vmware works like a charm, but I have some problem with 2.6.24...

When I try to run vmware-config.pl I've got this error. Please help.

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.

None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation 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/2.6.24/build/include]

Extracting the sources of the vmmon module.

Building the vmmon module.
