FWIW, while using 2.6.25 I encountered a problem that was resolved by |
| 14 |
switching to 2.6.24. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
With a 2.6.25 kernel and linux-headers-2.6.25, vmware-server wasn't |
| 17 |
happy. More precisely, attempts to load vmnet.ko (for example using |
| 18 |
'modprobe vmnet.ko') would log the following: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
vmnet: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
in /var/log/messages. This occurred even with rebuilds of the kernel |
| 23 |
and the module. Since switching to 2.6.24 (with 2.6.25's .config file |
| 24 |
as the basis of the 2.6.24 .config file), all has been fine. |
