Because I had problems with installing vmware server version 1.0.7 on a 64 bit Fedora 9 -system I installed the 32bit version of Fedora9 today.
But I do not have more succes with this 32bit installation : [root@localhost Download]# yum localinstall VMware-server-1.0.7-108231.i386.rpm --nogpgcheck Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Setting up Local Package Process Examining VMware-server-1.0.7-108231.i386.rpm: VMware-server-1.0.7-108231.i386 Marking VMware-server-1.0.7-108231.i386.rpm to be installed Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package VMware-server.i386 0:1.0.7-108231 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Installing: VMware-server i386 1.0.7-108231 VMware-server-1.0.7-108231.i386.rpm 101 M Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Install 1 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 101 M Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Installing : VMware-server [1/1] Installed: VMware-server.i386 0:1.0.7-108231 Complete!

Oops. I now see in your post that you have already installed the any-any driver. I had gotten this to work by doing a fresh OS install, then applying any-any & vmware with an unpatched kernel (I see that you have 2 kernel packages installed). I didn't trust the results, so I switched to CentOS 5.
"Yes, had this problem as well. Google 'vmware any-any' and you should get enough hits pointing you in the right direction; some with step-by-step instructions." |
I got it to work by installing vmware-server 1.0.7 and then I ran vmware-any-any-update117-itpsycho.
Got some errors building the thing, but now I can work with VMWare and create and run VM's. |
