Krellan -

I can't thank you enough - your patch worked like a charm! Great work!

Q: How did you figure out what the problem was?

Again - the patch and the patch script are both great; they worked flawlessly for me. Thank you!

Sincerely .. Paul Santa Maria

I have tried applying all the patches that have been posted and it now leads me to question where this error that I have been getting is relevant. Whenever I try to run vmware i get a error stating a bunch of modules have no been installed.

Krellan — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 04:14:17 GMT

Hello again.

The patch in this thread has been REPLACED by a newer patch, that will work for most of the Linux kernel versions from 2.6.29, 2.6.30, and 2.6.31.

http://communities.vmware.com/thread/221724

If you are still running VMware Workstation 6.5.2, please try this patch. Uninstall then reinstall VMware Workstation, to clean things out, if they were messed up from previous attempts at failed patches.

Thanks!

Josh

riftware — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 20:18:04 GMT

jwards 2.6.31 patch works for me with the Suse 2.6.30 kernel none of the other patches worked - the "smart patch" I found elsewhere in the threads didn't, probably because it detected kernel 2.6.30 and tried to run the 2.6.30 patch for it. I'm guessing that Suse backports stuff into the 2.6.30 kernel from 2.6.31 which caused my grief.

Hey folks - the last patch applied cleanly but I'm getting an error when it does the testcompile of the vmnet module (the other modules compile successfully) - any ideas appreciated.

If it makes any difference I'm using the suse factory kernel complete with its src and modules : 2.6.30.1-3-default #1 SMP 2009-07-15 09:08:18 -0700 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thanks for your work on this. The new patch does the trick for me (2.6.31-rc3 on F11 32bit)

Re: Here is patch for 2.6.30 kernel for Workstation 6.5.2

Krellan — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 04:39:18 GMT

Hi all!

I've posted a new patch, that will work for Linux 2.6.30. It will also work for 2.6.29 and 2.6.31.

It's in this thread:

http://communities.vmware.com/thread/221724

This new patch now supersedes all of my earlier patches. Hopefully this will solve a lot of problems that people had with the earlier patches.

You might need to restore your VMware Workstation 6.5.2 installation from backup, or at least the /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source directory. The new patch script now looks at the original modules in a much more careful way, and backs them up in a much safer way that can be ran more than once without causing failure. Unfortunately, to do this, I had to make it incompatible with the original script.

So, copy back your /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source directory from backup, or just reinstall VMware Workstation 6.5.2, and you should be OK.

Hope this helps!

Josh

I did do "make menuconfig" and selected the defaults when customizing the kernel but I still get the same error :/

Re: Here is patch for 2.6.30 kernel for Workstation 6.5.2

martyfelker — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 04:13:03 GMT

Interestingly VMware Workstatiion E.X.P installs without using the patch at all on Debian Lenny 5.02 Kernel 2.6.30-1-amd64!!

Weird. Perhaps VMware has included the patch in the beta??

Since I have WS 6.5.2 (licensed) installed on Windows 7 host and Linux versiion on Sabayon host (using 2.6.29 patch! ) think I'll just use the beta. I can and have copied VM's from one OS to another and ran them on standard or beta without a problem.

@ martyfelker

Do you use Debian Lenny? v5.02?

Is it a self build Kernel 2.6.30.1-amd64 ?

Greetings

Re: Here is patch for 2.6.30 kernel for Workstation 6.5.2

Ehud — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 03:19:00 GMT

The patch works on an UNPATCHED VMWare distro.

Download the VMware installer.

Run it.

(it will remove the patched one. It will fail on install. )

Patch it.

Run it.

It will work.

Re: Here is patch for 2.6.30 kernel for Workstation 6.5.2

This patch worked great up until now. In fact it worked on just this kernel before I reinstalled the OS. Host Debian Kernel 2.6.30.1-amd64

Re: Here is patch for 2.6.30 kernel for Workstation 6.5.2

Krellan — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 17:53:53 GMT

Polo: Missing autoconf.h is among the easiest problems to solve, it just means you haven't configured your kernel yet. Go into your kernel's source directory, and "make menuconfig". The defaults should all be acceptable, or, copy your distro's preferred configuration from where your distro keeps it (most likely in the /boot directory). If you copy in a config file from /boot, be sure to rename it ".config" (don't forget the dot at the beginning). Then, do "make" to compile the kernel. There's lots of guides online on how to do this best for your distro.

The 2.6.31 patch compiles fine - but the resulting vmnet module doesn't work. It hangs the first time it's loaded, can't be unloaded anymore and the guest OS get's no networking conncetion.

Any suggestions?

farzy's patch and the original script worked great on Kubuntu 9.04 with stock 2.6.30 32-bit kernel. I had to remove /var/lib/vmware to clear out backed up sources from a 2.6.29 install, otherwise, it was great.

Re: Here is patch for 2.6.30 kernel for Workstation 6.5.2

Krellan — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 01:12:28 GMT

Wow, version 2.6.31 already?

I'll see what I can do about a patch.

I've been quite busy at my day job (which is using VMware on 2.6.29 quite successfully), so haven't really kept up with answering people's questions about previous patches here, as well as I would have liked to.

The patch does not work for me I'm running Debian SID on 32bit 2.6.30-1-686. Any ideas? Thanks.

I have placed a backup of the original files in here:

The original VMware modules directory is still in the way.
Please move this directory somewhere else, because it confuses VMware:
/usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary

I forgot to check this, good to see the thread is still being updated and fixes made to the patch.

now why these forums can't use bbcode like almost every other forum out there is another matter....

Sorry, problem compiling the vmmon module after it was patched
---
Trouble was that I ran 'make clean' in kernel tree after I built it few days ago, and forgot about it.
It seems that 'make clean' removes bounds.h from include/linux, which is needed during the build
of the vmmon module.I ran 'make prepare' in kernel tree, and it regenerated needed headers.
Then smooth sail from that point on-'sh vmware-6.5.2-modules-2.6.30-fix.sh', and then 'vmware-modconfig --console --install-all' All is fine
Big thanks to Krellan and farzy (whose modified patch I used.)
You guys are awesome

keesl — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 14:50:03 GMT

I can confirm that the patch works fine for vmware-player as well.

I unpacked the tarfiles from the vmware-player module sources, applied the patch with a patchlevel of p1 (as the topdir names are different from the names in vmware-workstation)

patch -p1 < /tmp/vmware-6.5.2-modules-2.6.30-fix.patch

cd vmblock-only

make

etc.

Thanks for making this patch available !

maestrodata — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 15:57:25 GMT

I'm not sure how you guys do this stuff, or figure this out, but I'm extremely grateful!!

I commented-out the same lines and got it working with the patch on ubuntu x86_64 2.6.30 .

Everything else compiled perfectly except vmblock, so taking these lines out allowed me to install the patch.

THANK YOU!!!

I have placed a backup of the original files in here:

The original VMware modules directory is still in the way.
Please move this directory somewhere else, because it confuses VMware:
/usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary

This command should work now, to install the modules:
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

Re: Here is patch for 2.6.30 kernel for Workstation 6.5.2

treepeter — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 07:55:44 GMT

It is the same for me with the Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit and VMware workstation 6.5.2-156735.x86_64!

Can someone tell me howto perform a clean uninstall of VMware?

Thanks

Greetings

Should that patches also work on 64 bit versions?

None of that patches, including the latest, work for me on Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit with VMware workstation 6.5.2-156735.x86_64

You must restore from this backup directory:

Updated patch taking into consideration comment #2.

Applies only to original modules.

Re: Here is patch for 2.6.30 kernel for Workstation 6.5.2

Krellan — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 08:22:36 GMT

simmo: What version of VMware Workstation are you running? What Linux distribution is your host running? What's your Linux kernel version (use this command: uname -a)?

It looks like you tried to patch something that was different from what was expected.

Also, try using farzy's patch (scroll back up to find his reply, then download the patch from there).

I suggest you uninstall and then reinstall VMware Workstation, then apply farzy's patch.

n/m, ran:
mv vmware-6.5.2-modules-2.6.30-fix.patch.1 vmware-6.5.2-modules-2.6.30-fix.patch

then it worked fine.

Sorry for the noise.

So is it that your patch is only for 6.5.2 32bit?

Do you run VMware Workstation 6.5.2 on linux 2.26.29? try the patch of Krelland (It's in http://communities.vmware.com//thread/203231).

Or not, please post your errors and version of VMware to someone can be help you.

Regards

Hi s8dragon !

May be you can help me ... I was happy with my vmware-server 1.0.9 working perfectly, remotly and localy ...;-)

I'm an old devlopper (>59years old) who is always astonished by the "Why to make it simple when you can complixify !" of today....

(I speak about the number of different products of VMware ... not really clearly described in simple terms .. )

Mandriva decided to be on the very edge of kernels so ... I am stuck for days with the bloody patches for 2.6.29xxx from everywhere which remedy

the compiler problems BUT ... ends with the bloody 138 iso 208 ... bad version of vmmon.o ...

What to do ?

Best regards.

(It seems thar vmware people don't care about these problems.)

P.S.

Do I missed something, because apparently VMware Workstation is as VMware Player ... unable to run a VM on another host !!??

farzy = Thanks for supplying the modification to my patch. I was busy recently and so couldn't do it myself. I'm glad your modified patch now works. So, everyone who has problems with the first patch I posted, please also try farzy's patch.

Re: Here is patch for 2.6.30 kernel for Workstation 6.5.2

s8dragon — Mon, 25 May 2009 12:48:07 GMT

I got it.

Thanks so much!

Hi,

eris23 and s8dragon, please try the attached patch, it's a modified version of vmware-6.5.2-modules-2.6.30-fix.patch. You still have to use the original vmware-6.5.2-modules-2.6.30-fix.sh and don't forget to first revert your module sources before applying the patch.

Krellan's message gives the necessary instructions for reverting the sources.

Regards

And I see other body had wrote its, but I don't get any answer yet. Can you show me the solve of it ?

I use WMware-workstation6.5.2 and linux kernel 2.6.30-5-generic

Thanks to spend time for this error.

Thanks. Interesting. APIC_BASE_MSR doesn't exist anymore in Workstation 6.5.2, you're right. I thought I had already deleted it from the patch. Good catch.

Hi,

Thanks for your patch (are the previous one) which once again made VMware work for me.

The only glitch I had is that had to delete the following hunk from the patchfile in order to apply it cleanly to my VMware module source.

vmware-6.5.2-modules-2.6.30-fix.patch line 58:

I found no APIC_BASE_MSR in my unpatched module sources.

Once these lines are deleted the patch applies (although with some offset on the line numbers) and the modules compile and run correctly. I'm running VMware Workstation 6.5.2 build-156735 on a Linux kernel 2.6.30-020630rc4-generic.

Here is patch for 2.6.30 kernel for Workstation 6.5.2

Krellan — Thu, 07 May 2009 19:50:24 GMT

By popular demand, here is an update of my original patch. It now works on 2.6.30 (I tested on 2.6.30-rc4). I'm using VMware Workstation 6.5.2.

This patch runs exactly the same as my earlier 2.6.29 patch script, which was here:

http://communities.vmware.com//thread/203231

The instructions are exactly the same as before. Download the patch, and also, download the script to help you apply it. There should be 2 attachments to this message.

Use the bash command to run the script, as root. (Look at the script first, so you know I didn't put something nasty in it!):

bash ./vmware-6.5.2-modules-2.6.30-fix.sh

It should now apply cleanly, and there should be no errors.

If there were errors, please restore your original VMware modules from backup. If you earlier tried the 2.6.29 patch script, and it failed because you're running the 2.6.30 kernel, then you'll need to undo my previous patch before trying this patch. Here's the command that will restore your earlier VMware modules:

cp -v /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source-backup/* /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source

This will restore your modules to their earlier pristine condition (hopefully), and you can now try again to run the 2.6.30 script.

I tried this and it works to run my virtual machines under 2.6.30. There are very few changes between 2.6.29 and 2.6.30 from VMware's point of view, which makes it minimally invasive. Let me know how this works.
