vmware and cko kernel patch don't get along?
im having problems running vmware with the cko patch. Vmware asks me to run vmware-config.pl, and when i do, i get this....
Code:
Any help on how to get it running? Cko is a great patch, that imho really makes linux quicker. I wouldn't want to roll back to 2.6.9 just cuz i can't use vmware on it. |
Maybe you didn't symlink the cko kernel to linux,
and the header vmware finds belongs to the original version? Cheers, Tink |
yea i did that. linked it to the cko source. it seems as if it doesn't recognizes it....
|
Did you give that cko kernel an extraversion
that shows in uname -a? Cheers, Tink |
prolly not, cuz i dont understand what you mean by that.
:D what do you mean by that? |
Well ... when you compile the new (patched) kernel you
copied it to a new directory to maintain the old one untouched. However, the Makefile defines as who/what the kernel identifies itself in e.g. the uname command, or where its modules come to live. Basically you'd use extraversion to make sure that you're actually using the kernel you think you are using. :) Examples: Code:
cd /usr/src/linux Code:
$ uname -r Cheers, Tink |
hmm is this right?
Code:
bash-2.05b# head -n 4 Makefile |
The head is fine, the current kernel just isn't the cko :}
/me wonders about the power of imagination ;) Cheers, Tink |
lol, i was currently using the 2.6.9 kernel. Its just that at the moment i need to use vmware. I will post as soon as i don't need to use vmware and can log into the cko kernel.
|
this is what im getting, i am currently running the 2.6.9-cko kernel
Code:
bash-2.05b# head -n 4 Makefile |
Hmmmm - did you ask vmware support?
Cheers, Tink |
no. :rolleyes: not yet
tho i have looked round some forums as of, havn't found anything |
found the solution.... i posted it here at 8dimensional.
here is what i posted there Code:
How do I get Vmware if there's any problems with me posting a link to another forum, plz let me know. thanx for your time and patience. |
No problem ... this is a fair enough thing to do,
assuming that this is not your own site ;) Problems with links to other sites only arise if people come here to advertise their own site. (this statement is cut rather short and incomplete, look at the spirit it's said in, not the words). Cheers, Tink |
lol yea spammers suck. :)
the thing is that i had put out this post at various forums, such as fedora forums (jsut to name one), but i got no reply there. Im happy here a lq that i at least got some response. i think im gonna post sommore here. And really, thanx again for posting and lending a helping hand. |
