Linux kernel 2.6.14 headers
Hi everyone! I was trying to install the VMware player in my computer but it needs to compile a few modules specifically to my kernel (2.6.14), so I was wondering if anyone knows of a repository where I can get the package. I tried to use other kernels but they fail to configure property my ethernet connection, this is why I need to stick with this one. Thanks, -- António Rafael C.

I am not very sure about vmware player but for other vmware products you have to apply vmware-any-any patch . Give it chance -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Install 2.6.15 if you use unstable. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 ICQ #17079270 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps-sarge.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

IIRC: vmware player 1.0, like vmware workstation 5.5, does not need to have the vmware-any-any patch applied while vmware GSX server does. IIRC: you need to have the set of kernel headers of your running kernel IIRC: you need to have the same compiler version as your kernel was built with.

Re: Linux kernel 2.6.14 headers
Thank you all. My problem is in finding the kernel headers for the 2.6.14 precisely, not with the installation of the VMware player. Andreas, I also tried to install the 2.6.15 kernel from unstable but for some reason the kernel is unable to get my ethernet connection running. The interface exists but it cannot get a IP address through DHCP. Thanks, Antonio Andreas Janssen wrote: Hello Antonio Rafael C.

I think you should be able to get the 2.6.14 headers from the Debian snapshots archive at http://snapshot.debian.net/ I quickly ran the query there and it seems to me that you have to add the following two lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool linux-2.6 deb-src http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool linux-2.6 Then apt-get/aptitude should be able to find the package. (I did not try this myself, though.) Andreas, I also tried to install the 2.6.15 kernel from unstable but for some reason the kernel is unable to get my ethernet connection running. The interface exists but it cannot get a IP address through DHCP. In the long run it is probably better if you manage to get the 2.6.15 kernel working. I am sure that someone will be able to help you if you post more details about your ethernet/DHCP problem. However, I think it is better if you start a new thread for that.

Re: Linux kernel 2.6.14 headers
Thank you Florian, that solved my problem! I know that I should update the kernel but I'm trying to stick with Debian testing and the kernel I have was already picked ahead which is something I which to avoid except when necessary as was the case.
