Workstation 8.01 and kernel issues

I just changed my kernel to 2.6.41.1-1.fc15.x86_64 and vmware 8.0.0 will not compile the drivers for the kernel.  I switched back to 2.6.40.6-0.fc15.x86_64 and it worked.  I got the prompt about 8.0.1 update so installed this and now a windows 7 64bit guest will not get an IP.  NAT works but bridged or custom will not.  Im thinking about upgrading tio fedora16 and am guessing that it will be using the 2.6.41.1 kernel so will probably fail.

The error log contains the following if anyone has any ideas:

Not sure if I should add this here or not but since all the above I went back to using kernel 2.6.40.6-0.fc15.x86_64 which does allow vmware to work but networking is screwed on it.  If I choose bridge using LAN and WLAN the guest will failt to get an IP.  Choose  NAT and it works but the VM keeps freezing every few mins for a few seconds at a time which is very very annoying.  I have no idea what to look at or what you guys may want from the system to look at so just let me know.

Thanks

I have the same issue with the same kernel & same vmware version.


I can add that previously I tested vmware player 4.0 on the same Fedora core it was OK. However that was the previous FC15 kernel.

Now even vmware player 4.0 (VMware-Player-4.0.0-471780.x86_64.bundle) have problem with this new kernel - 2.6.41.1-1.fc15.x86_64

At install stage no error msg for vmware workstaion 8.01, but when I run it tried to make vmware kernal modules and always failed.

It seems to be a problem at the stage of making modules for vmnet.

My error msg is not the same as yours - I got this (the rest looked OK but some error in this protion)

A tiny good news about this. I created a seperated Fedora 16 and Workstation 8.01 modules complied OK with that. My FC 15 is still not able to have any VM. However I am not able to get pass irritating SELINUX which prevented me from entering my serial number. It kept asking me for root password. Must be permission & SELINUX policy issue which I am not familiar.

Are you saying that F16 with the 2.6.41.1 kernel and vmware 8.0.1 works ok but the same kernel on F15 does not for you?

I had read these URLs above and patches seemed to have helped some users. I am not able to get it worked myself, since there wasn't any instructions at the later.

For me it did not changed anything, I tried again and it say patch found.

But still failed to compile vmnet modules. :smileyshocked:

Yes I meant you will get pass this issue of vmware ws 8.0.1 won't complie vmnet.

I have some FC16 issues myself.

It is giving crazy unreliable keystrokes in the KDE konsole program which is my shell. It will stop accepting keystrokes after some time. Or get sluggish responds to keystrokes after few hundred keystrokes. Very annoying! I also had to recompile my ATI video driver quite a bit to see my graphics.
