I have installed the source and header RPMs so I
can recompile the kernel to satisfy the error I get when
I try to configure VMWARE.
I run xconfig and set everything up (correctly I hope).
I do a 'make dep' then 'make clean' then 'make bzImage'.
I get this error:
In file included from ksyms.c:17:
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/kernel_stat.h:44: `smp_num_cpus'

I have SMP set to 'no'.
So just for giggles I set it to 'yes' and tried again then
got this error:
init/main.o: In function `check_fpu':
init/main.o(.text.init+0x25): undefined reference to
`__buggy_fxsr_alignment'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
I can't get past this point. I have tried reinstalling the RPMs
and starting from scratch with no luck.
Anyone have any ideas?
