Greetings, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've got vmware-server installed on my AMD64x2 workstation with kernel |
| 4 |
2.6.25-gentoo-r4. It used to work fine with kernel 2.6.22-gentoo-r9. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
My current versions are: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
vmware-server: 1.0.5.80187 |
| 9 |
vmware-modules: 1.0.0.15-r1 |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Today vmware won't start up. It's complaining: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
vmware is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured |
| 14 |
for this system. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command: |
| 15 |
/opt/vmware/server/bin/vmware-config.pl. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I've run vmware-config.pl and accepted the default answers to all |
| 18 |
questions -- the same thing I've done several times over the past |
| 19 |
year. The run ends with the following messages: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
* Starting VMware services: [ ok ] |
| 22 |
* Virtual machine monitor [ !! ] |
| 23 |
* Virtual ethernet [ !! ] |
| 24 |
* Module vmnet is not loaded. Please verify that it is loaded |
| 25 |
before [ !! ] |
| 26 |
* running this script. [ !! ] |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
The configuration of VMware Server 1.0.5 build-80187 for Linux for |
| 29 |
this running kernel completed successfully. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Given the "module vmnet" message, I've run "emerge --oneshot |
| 32 |
vmware-modules" and verified that /lib/modules/2.6.25-gentoo-r4/misc |
| 33 |
has new versions of vmmon.ko and vmnet.ko. When I run "modprobe |
| 34 |
vmnet", it reports: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
FATAL: Error inserting vmnet |
| 37 |
(/lib/modules/2.6.25-gentoo-r4/misc/vmnet.ko): Invalid module |
| 38 |
format |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
What detail am I missing about building vmnet.ko ?? |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Thanks. |
