VMware is quite picky about that. The kernel headers it uses to compile its modules must be the same kernel that is (or will) actually be running on the system. You can try to at least get the same version and its headers, but there's a chance you get unresolved symbols when trying to use the compiled module. If you can't locate the kernel sources, are you able to find the kernel configuration file at least? You could download the kernel from kernel.org, use your distribution's kernel config file and compile a new kernel. It'll be identical to the one already running which should make all this work out just fine. -- Gerard Beekmans http://linuxfromscratch.org /* Linux Consultant --- OSDN / DevChannel * * Technical Writer --- CheapBytes */ /* If Linux doesn't have the solution, you have the wrong problem */
