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.

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 -

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
