workstation.product.version = "12.5.8" / Fedora release 27 / Linux 4.13.15-300.fc27.x86_64
Hi All,
VMWare updated to 12.5.8, and is now not starting.
I don't see any errors in the logs (/var/log/vmware).
I previously had 12.5.7 installed, and used the script below to compile (see Re: Linux Host: Kernel 4.13-rc1 Breaks vmnet.. ).
I don't see any compile errors running this.
Not sure where to go from here...
cat buildVMWareKernelModules.sh
#!/bin/bash
sudo mkdir /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon-only/
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet-only/
sudo tar -xvf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon.tar --directory /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
sudo tar -xvf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar --directory /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
#This seems to still be required for 12.5.8
cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet-only/
sudo patch < /home/rkpatel/vmwareScripts/VMware-Workstation-12.5.7-kernel4.13-atomic-inc.patch
sudo make
sudo cp -p vmnet.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc
cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon-only/
#replace the hostif.c file with extra space with fixed version
#below hostif.c fix doesn't seem to be required in 12.5.8, so removed
sudo cp -p /home/rkpatel/vmwareScripts/hostif.c /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon-only/linux/hostif.c
sudo make
sudo cp -p vmmon.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc
sudo depmod -a
