VMware Server 2.0

Did anyone get it to work on 11.1 (64bit)? I tried a lot of patches and any-any updates found on the web, but it always fails compiling the vmmon module.

include/asm/apicdef.h:134:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
LD [M] /tmp/vmware-config10/vmmon-only/vmmon.o
Building modules, stage 2.

Unable to make a vmmon module that can be loaded in the running kernel:
insmod: error inserting ‘/tmp/vmware-config10/vmmon.o’: -1 Invalid module format
There is probably a slight difference in the kernel configuration between the
set of C header files you specified and your running kernel. You may want to
rebuild a kernel based on that directory, or specify another directory.

Hi Uwe
Have you see this one?

I have the same issue with bluetooth and the 32bit pae kernel, hence I
drop back to the default and it’s fine…

Seems to be a different beast, I am on the default kernel.
Thanks!

Consider switch to Virtualbox… it can use your vmware files, it’s open source and opensuse got always the releases in time including the kernel modules.

I switched after i upgraded to 11.1 beta

Working on it, but the virtual XP box doesn’t start yet. It plain hangs.
