Hello Suse/vmware Linux Gurus,
How can I fix my system so that VMware config can reconfigure my VMware setup? VMware was working perfectly before I updated my 64-bit, dual core system.
I recently did a system update using default settings in Yast. Upon rebooting and trying to restart VMWare workstation (installed from 5.5.1 rpm)I was told that I needed to reconfigure vmware for the new kernel.
After going along through the update tool process, the critical message that I got was:
The directory of kernel headers (version 2.6.13-15-smp) does not match your
running kernel (version 2.6.13-15.13-smp). Even if the module were to compile
successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.
I've tried installing kernel source from Yast, as suggested in other posts to this site, but the only option is source from 2.6.13-15. I have kernel version 2.6.13-15.13, now after the update.
I installed the any-any tool but it did not help.
Using Yast, I installed the kernel-source package, but it only give me the option to install source from 2.6.13-15
Here is package information that shows the mis-matched versions of kernel and kernel source:
ppearman@pcdee4309:~> rpm -qa kernel* gcc* make
kernel-smp-2.6.13-15.13
gcc-32bit-4.0.2_20050901-3
gcc-4.0.2_20050901-3
kernel-source-2.6.13-15
gcc-info-4.0.2_20050901-3
gcc-fortran-4.0.2_20050901-3
make-3.80-188
kernel-update-tool-0.9-10
gcc-fortran-32bit-4.0.2_20050901-3
gcc-c++-4.0.2_20050901-3
kernel-smp-nongpl-2.6.13-15.13
I checked out the installation directions at:
http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/15963.html
but while they specify that the version numbers must match, I don't see how to do it with the options I have in Yast.
Can anyone please give me some (good?) advice on what I need to do?
Peter
