Actually, I've just delved deeper into the VmWare site, and found the release notes for 2.0.3 - as of this release, it does have support for 2.4.x kernels... >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/15 1:50 pm >>> Hi again, Not sure how modules work exactly, but in vmwares case I guess they are like drivers that allow the virtual machine to access various resources (screen, harddisk, cdroms etc). I've had a look at vmwares site, in their required software section ( http://www.vmware.com/support/linux/doc/sysreqs_linux.html ), they state that a kernel version 2.0.32 or higher in the 2.0.x series or in the 2.2.x series is required, and that glibc version 2 or higher is needed. Perhaps vmware simply wont work with 2.4.x kernels yet, but you can try other ways of setting it up: if you're installing from an RPM, try installing the tar.gz file instead, or vice versa. At some point in the installation it will say "Checking modules against kernel version" or something similar. If it tells you that it needs to build custom modules, say yes and see what the output says. Are there any failure messages at all? Hope this helps...

Do You knows how modules are necessary to install VMware ??? ( I know it's hard question ) So don't hurry about it !!! Lùcio Costa
