Update - 17th March, 2008
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Good news Linux kernel 2.6.24.x users! VMware Workstation v6.0.3 build 80004
can be made to build on the current stable kernel (at the time of this writing,
the current stable version is 2.6.24.3). However, it needs a little hacking to
make work so please observe the following instructions;
1) untar the VMware Workstation distribution provided by this torrent
EXAMPLE:
tar xvf
2) move to the directory containing vmmon module source
EXAMPLE:
cd ./vmware-distrib/lib/modules/source
3) untar vmmon.tar
EXAMPLE:
tar xvf ./vmmon.tar
4) apply the following sed
DO THIS:
sed -i 's/asm\/bitops.h/linux\/bitops.h/' ./vmmon-only/include/vcpuset.h
5) Repackage the vmmon tarball
EXAMPLE:
rm ./vmmon.tar && tar cf ./vmmon.tar vmmon-only/
6) return to top level directory
EXAMPLE:
cd /path/to/vmware-distrib
7) build the package
sudo ./vmware-install.pl *OR*
su (requires root password)
./vmware-install.pl
THE PROBLEM:
^^^^^^^^^^^^
The exact problem is in the file vcpuset.h, located inside the vmmon.tar file
under the directory On line 74 of
vcpuset.h you will find:
#include "asm/bitops.h"
This *must* be changed to:
#include "linux/bitops.h"
Before the vmmon kernel module will compile. This works on the testing distro
of Debian codename `Lenny' using a custom compiled kernel version 2.6.24.3
Good luck!

If you are using VLAN do the following
(copy&paste from VMWARE forums)
unpack to a working directory
in vmnet-only edit bridge.c
on line 838 change line:
if (bridge->dev->hard_header_len != ETH_HLEN) {
to:
if (bridge->dev->hard_header_len != ETH_HLEN && bridge->dev->hard_header_len != ETH_HLEN +4) {
save, pack vmnet-only to vmnet.tar and put back in /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
re-run vmware-config.pl to rebuild the kernel modules.

LadyAbagail:
Thanx a lot for manual and torrent!
In Mandriva2008.1 kernel 2.6.24-4 it works great.

Hmm. You shouldn't happen to have the x86_64-version too?!

@peter:
I got it to install on x86_64 by just commenting out the installer script line's os check.
Seems to be running fine so far, though probabliy not optimal performance.

Spoke too soon... XP just BSOD'd

mockturtl3 (2008-05-30)

Never mind. That's just normal XP
