Hey guys,
Still having problem... I wonder what I am missing?
Trying to compile the vmmon module from VMware, but it fail with:
Unable to make a vmmon module that can be loaded in the running kernel:
/tmp/vmware-config6/vmmon.o: /tmp/vmware-config6/vmmon.o: unresolved
symbol __stack_smash_handler
/tmp/vmware-config6/vmmon.o: /tmp/vmware-config6/vmmon.o: unresolved
symbol __guard
/tmp/vmware-config6/vmmon.o:
Hint: You are trying to load a module without a GPL compatible license
and it has unresolved symbols. The module may be trying to access
GPLONLY symbols but the problem is more likely to be a coding or
user error. Contact the module supplier for assistance, only they
can help you.
Reading the kernel FAQ gives me that I should maybe use 'make bzImage
CC="gcc -fno-stack-protector"'. I have tried all the hints from the
kernel FAQ without results.
Reading the Q/A from VMware hints about kernel headers mismatch:
*Q: Why does vmware-config.pl report "There is probably a light
difference of kernel configuration between the set of C header files you
specified and your running kernel"?*
*A:* This error message is displayed when the configuration program
successfully builds custom VMware Workstation modules but they are
incompatible with your running kernel. This happens when there is a
mismatch between your running kernel and the directory of header files.
Some distribution vendors ship a directory of header files that exhibits
this problem. We encourage them to fix it. In the meantime, please
consider recompiling your Linux kernel. This is the only way to ensure
that the directory of header files will match your Linux kernel exactly.
Is there anyone out there who have installed VMware host on a TSL 2.2?
Thanks
Bjorn
