Re: [newbie] VMWARE

ok I downgraded to 2.2.9-19 and vmware installs fine and works fine and then
upgraded back to 2.2.9-27 and it still works which makes me think that the
problem lies in the 2.2.9-27 kernel headers which vmware uses to compile drivers
while it is installing...might just wait for the next kernel update and see what
happens

  I don't have vmware... Can you check if the kernel in cooker
  (2.2.10-29mdk) works?
 
 

 I installed vmware with 2.2.10-29mdk last night.
 I didn't have problems during installation.
 But the program don't work properly.
 May be it's my fault: I was tired.
 My be it's a problem related to some network service
 non properly closed. If i exit from the program, when
 i restart it, i have a message like: "it seems there is
 another virtual machine working ..."
 When i halted the system i found a message like:
 "stopping wm..net .. eth ... service".

Hi

Has anyone managed to successfully get VMWARE(any version) working on linux-mandrake?
I can get it installing fine, the configuration wizard works, but then when I hit the 
power on button, it crashes
and gives me a segmentation fault.

On the website www.vmware.com it says it works fine with redhat 6.0 so I assumed it 
would work perfectly with Mandrake.

The error looks like this:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address c7c3d2o8
current -tss.cr3=07c3f000, %cr3 = 07c3f000
