Since new kernel 3.0 update I cannot rebuild vmware modules
Quote:
sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
Unable to initialize kernel module configuration
I found this answer on a forum, but I don't know how to do that. Where do I insert the "CONFIG_LOCALVERSION" line.
Quote:
Same here. This seems to be due to the kernel version being "3.0" instead of "3.0.0".
Recompiling the Kernel (and all modules based on it, e.g. nvidia) with
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=".0-ARCH"
allows me to compile the modules and run VMware.
What I can think of from the abstract of the forum that you pasted is that they want you to recompile the kernel after editing .config file and setting CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=3.0.0 in it.

I think you rated my previous post as not helpful. In the community we people give suggestions not always solution and that is how this community works if I am not wrong.
Anyways, I was talking about .config file which is located under /usr/src/ kernel source directory. As I am using CentOS for me my kernel source directory is: /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-194.el5-i686
You can find kernel source directory for your system under /usr/src/kernels. In this .config file you will find a parameter which says:
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="" you can change this to CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=3.0.0 and then recompile the kernel using this editing .config file.
Note: Make a backup of your existing .config file before editing.
