I had no trouble compiling using the vmware-any-any patches and my modified vmxnet.tar, using CentOS 5.0 as the base. Please see this post if you want a copy of the vm: http://chaz6.com/?p=199. I also enabled paravirt support.

I tried using vmware-any-any-110 patch as its the latest yet I'm still unable to compile vmmon. What exactly did you do to compile? What is your setup? GCC Version, kernel version? thanks

Try using g++ when you compile - you can automate the process with GNU MAKE

Does wonders for me!

And if your using java I find the best way to do compilations is to use ANT with batch files.

However, I would suggest writing your source code with notepad because that is what the serious programmers do!

So I got the module to build on the 2.6.22 kernel, but only on my x86_64 box. On my x86 machines it still will not build using the any-any-update110 patch. Any Suggestions/Tips? Thanks

This fix compilation problem. No "any-any" patch required. Do not try to modify your kernel, every thing fine with it, problem is in VMware.

VMware Workstation: 6.0.0 build-45731
Kernel: 2.6.22-gentoo-r8

howto:

cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/
tar -xf vmnet.tar
cd vmnet-only
cat /path/to/patch | patch -p1
cd ..
tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only
vmware-config.pl

Patch attached.

Vasya's patch works in x86 (I assume) but not in x86_64. Here's a new patch that should work in both. I know it works on x86_64 because I tested it on my machine (Ubuntu Gutsy).

VMware Workstation: 6.0.0 build-45731
uname -a: Linux ##### 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 21:45:15 GMT 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Installation instructions same as in Vasya's post.

Some people were complaining about errors with bridged networking on previous patch attempts even though they compiled fine. All the links posted a few months ago are broken so I can't compare them with my version, but I can confirm that connecting from the guest to the host on a bridged network works with this patch. I'm pretty confident all networking should work with this patch too.

Hi Jaylundy,

Thank you for the patch. Unfortunately, I get the following error on "sudo cat /home/akim/install/vmxnet/patch | patch -p1":

patch: **** Can't rename file /tmp/poWMTGjc to bridge.c : Permission denied

Actually after I wrote that patch I found out about the vmware-any-any patch. I looked at it and it has the same changes I made except higher quality. I suggest you try it first. You can get it at http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/ . Look for vmware-any-any-update114.tar.gz . He apparently keeps it updated whenever any kernel changes break the modules.

See http://communities.vmware.com/message/76957 for more info about it.

Hi.

Thank you. The patch works great. I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (7.10).

Note that before to run the vmware-any-any patch (runme.pl), you need to install the g++ package if not done yet.

Cheers

Ok ... I withdraw what I said.....

I have restart my computer. And now... X starts only in failsafe... I have no idea how to troubleshoot that

I'm unable to get my nvidia drivers back working

My desktop is on tty7 and when I try to make a sudo gdm restart from tty1, then tty9 launchs xconfig

I'm lost......

I run Ubuntu 7.10, 2.6.22-14-generic on a AMD x86_64 and VMware-server-1.0.3

I first run the vmware-any-any-update109 path without any luck.

and then downloaded the vmnet patch from http://npw.net/~phbaer/vmnet.tar and copy it into /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source

And then I tried the vmware-any-any-update115 version from http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/ and everything was ok
