building kernel package


Hi expert all,

I am using slackware 12.1 guest os in vmware 1.0.6 on win xp.

I need minimalist slackware.. so that I have recompiled the kernel-2.6.24.5 for vmware devices and installed modules supplied by vmware that is vmmon and vmnet. Finally build the kernel packages using slackbuild script

I am using below kernel packages

kernel-2.6.24.5-headers-x86
kernel-source-2.6.24.5_smp-noarch-2
kernel-2.6.24.5-modules-i486

I followed below ur for vmware kernel compilation, this url for gentoo but i adapted to slackware ..

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_Gentoo_on_VMware

I have followed below url for vmware modules installation

http://koo.fi/tech/2007/10/17/how-to...any-any-patch/

i followed below url for building packages for both modules and booting kernel,

I am getting different error while trying every time

version magic error

FATAL: Error inserting vmnet (/vmmon.ko): invalid module format

Please help me.. I am stucks on different error..

thanks in advance
