Just a heads up. I experienced this same problem in openSUSE 11.1 RC2 kernel Linux 2.6.27.7-8-default #1 SMP 2008-11-25 00:02:37 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux.

Thanks for the solution.

I'm having a problem installing workstation in openSUSE 11.1 kernel 2.6.27.7-9-default. I am running the 64 bit version of suse. I'm a linux beginner so I'm not sure if I applied the fix properly or not. I downloaded the vmware-build-modules script to my desktop and viewed it in gedit but I don't know how to run it. Thank you in advance for any help I can get on this forum. Below is what I see when I run vmware & command after installing the .rpm.

I also uninstalled the .rpm and installed with the .bundle but got the same result. I went back and made sure I had the following software installed also per a forum post.

gcc

gcc++

make

binutils

kernel-source

I didn't have to run the script you mentioned (Fedora 10 x86_64), but I did have to use the workaround posted earlier in this thread:

mv /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary.old


If you do want to run that script you downloaded, you must first make it executable by typing "chmod +x vmware-build-modules" and then execute it by typing "./vmware-build-modules". But I would try the renaming first, as it's less complicated and (if it works) will let you use the new automatic module building system in vmware.

To do either of these, you will have to have root privs.

Thank you so much Charlie. I can't believe the fix was SOO easy. I just needed someone like you to confirm what I needed to do. Happy New Year to you and everyone one else reading this thread.

Hello Noel,

I noticed that you helped some people here on the forum with problems related to the missing "vmware-config.pl" script.

I was wondering if you knew how to map eth1 to vmnet0, and eth2 to vmnet2? I have a system with three ethernet cards (eth0, eth1, eth2) and need to split the traffic. In the past with vmplayer 2.0 I used to run "vmware-config.pl, which allowed me to configure both cards, but I don't know how to do it without the script.

Any ideas?

Thanks Omar

I have openSUSE 11.1 (x86_64) with kernel 2.6.27.29-0.1-default
and VMware-Workstation-for-Linux-64bit-6.5.1-126130.x86_64[1]

My computer freezes reproducible after starting the vmware services.
I have tried all the workarounds in this thread.
I have seen a lot of serious warnings during the compilation
process of the vmware kernel modules!

Can anybody help me?

Has the vmware developer stuff already fixed the problem?

Details:

  1. uname -a
Linux erde001 2.6.27.29-0.1-default #1 SMP 2009-08-15 17:53:59 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
