Hello, I use an opensuse 10.2 host system for my vmplayer. Since the last kernel update I get the following error when I try to rebuild the vmplayer kernel modules.

What do I have to do to get rid of the problem? Who can advice?

You can not use a Xen kernel. You need to install the non-xen kernel
Thank you for this hint.
I checked my system and I can confirm that indeed the Xen kernek version was loaded which was not intended.
After I switched to the standard kernel the vmplayer works again.
Thanks for the update
