I need to get VMWare Server 1.09 up and running to use my existing VM images. I installed 11.1, tried to install VMWare, but it would not configure. I went on to other issues, and now find that my kernel (2.6.27.21-0.1)is different from sources (2.6.27.21-0.1.1). Does that extra little .1 really going to affect anything?
Regardless, has anyone encountered the issue listed below? Is there a fix? I know version 1.09 is older for VMWare, but I absolutely despise the new 2.0 version, or more specifically the web interface which along with the unacceptable resources just to run the backend. Anyways…for giggles I tried 2.0 anyways and had the same problem :).
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.27.21-0.1-default/build/include]
