[lug] VMware trouble

[Fred Robinson]

I haven't used the 2.x.x versions, I've only used the 3.0.0 build 1455 for
Windows 2000.  I'm very pleased with it, however I don't do anything with
SCSI.  If you'd like to get it from me I'll explain how you can retrieve it
from my shared folder?

Subject: [lug] VMware trouble


HI,
Has anyone on this list used VMware with kernel 2.4.17?  I am
experiencing terrible trouble with the vm causing a seg fault upon
starting a virtual computer.

I am seeing strange errors when compiling my kernel modules:

I had used VMware up to 2.4.16 without problems.  I need 2.4.17 for some
SCSI features but as far as VMware goes I am completely stuck!

Thanks,
Ferdinand



Installing the content of the package.

In which directory do you want to install the binary files?
[/usr/bin]

In which directory do you want to install the library files?
[/usr/lib/vmware]

The path "/usr/lib/vmware" does not exist currently. This script is
going to
create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you want?
[yes]

In which directory do you want to install the manual files?
[/usr/share/man]

In which directory do you want to install the documentation files?
[/usr/share/doc/vmware]

The path "/usr/share/doc/vmware" does not exist currently. This script
is going
to create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you
want?
[yes]

What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to
rc6.d/)?
[/etc/init.d] /etc/rc.d

What is the directory that contains the init scripts?
[/etc/rc.d/init.d] /etc/init.d

The installation of VMware Workstation 3.0.0 build-1455 for Linux
completed
successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at
any
time by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall.pl".

Before running VMware Workstation for the first time, you need to
configure it
for your running kernel by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl". Do you want this script to invoke the
command for
you now? [yes]

Making sure VMware Workstation's services are stopped.

Do you accept? (yes/no) yes

Thank you.

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.

[yes]

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
