Greetings,
I've got vmware-server installed on my AMD64x2 workstation with kernel
2.6.25-gentoo-r4. It used to work fine with kernel 2.6.22-gentoo-r9.
My current versions are:
vmware-server: 1.0.5.80187
vmware-modules: 1.0.0.15-r1
Today vmware won't start up. It's complaining:
vmware is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured
for this system. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command:
/opt/vmware/server/bin/vmware-config.pl.
I've run vmware-config.pl and accepted the default answers to all
questions -- the same thing I've done several times over the past
year. The run ends with the following messages:
* Starting VMware services: [ ok ]
* Virtual machine monitor [ !! ]
* Virtual ethernet [ !! ]
* Module vmnet is not loaded. Please verify that it is loaded
before [ !! ]
* running this script. [ !! ]
The configuration of VMware Server 1.0.5 build-80187 for Linux for
this running kernel completed successfully.
Given the "module vmnet" message, I've run "emerge --oneshot
vmware-modules" and verified that /lib/modules/2.6.25-gentoo-r4/misc
has new versions of vmmon.ko and vmnet.ko. When I run "modprobe
vmnet", it reports:
FATAL: Error inserting vmnet
(/lib/modules/2.6.25-gentoo-r4/misc/vmnet.ko): Invalid module
format
What detail am I missing about building vmnet.ko ??
Thanks.
David
