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


Sorry for my german talking system... "Fehler" means "error"

Thanks.

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!!!

Tim

I have changed the files in here:
/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source

I have placed a backup of the original files in here:
/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source-backup

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

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

Can you update the patch for 2.6.31? Here is a possible diff:

Thanks!

I confirm this works on 6.5.2 x64...I am running Linux Mint x64...I ran the OP script but didnt work. Then ran the farzy script and all is good.

You guys are good!

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.
