Re: [expert] (More) problems with vmware and recompiled kernel
OK, Thanks for the suggestions. I first got vmware to work by compiling a kernel from clean source from kernel.org. The VMWare fix posted by Tom lets me run vmware on the kernel compiled from the Mandrake source tree (but then vmware won't run on the kernel from clean source !) "You pays your money, you takes your choice ..." Thanks for the help, Steven

I'll post my config file I with kernel 2.2.10-mdk ??? and that runs VMWARE without problems on monday (it's on my office machine) Patrick - Original Message - From: Steven <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, July 23, 1999 5:54 PM Subject: [expert] (More) problems with vmware and recompiled kernel > I've been trying to set up vmware (version 1.0.3), and in preperation, I've > recompiled my kernel from the src rpm (kernel-2.2.10-32mdk from Cooker -- a > couple of weeks old now). > > I compiled relatively light-weight kernel, to drive my Intel P2/BX chipset, > 64MB ram, IDE based system.

[expert] (More) problems with vmware and recompiled kernel
I've been trying to set up vmware (version 1.0.3), and in preperation, I've recompiled my kernel from the src rpm (kernel-2.2.10-32mdk from Cooker -- a couple of weeks old now). I compiled relatively light-weight kernel, to drive my Intel P2/BX chipset, 64MB ram, IDE based system. I have no floppy, but I have an ls120. I missed out pretty much anything that I don't need for this workstation. After running menu config I changed the tag string to 2.2.10-32mdk-sjm1, and did 'make dep && make clean && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install'. The kernel runs the machine ok, but it won't run vmware. I have a Win98 installation on a FAT partition, and I was planning to run this in vmware, but I get a segfault as soon as I "power up" the vitual machine. How can I help to get this problem licked in time for MD6.1? I could post my menuconfig files if that's interesting to the kernel-hackers at MD. Helpful for me would be to see the config file from a kernel that works with vmware. Steven
