[newbie] Still SMP troubles...
I tried the "fix" that Axalon (MandrakeSoft) suggested, but the VMware modules still won't compile, they complain that the header files are a little different than my currently running kernel version, and it quits the compiler. So, I can't get VMware to install. I hate to say it, but I *need* VMware and if I can't get it to install, then I am switching to SuSE, where I know it works. Axalon if you are reading this, I don't know what you mean by, "There are also provided modversions*.h for the different kernel-* packages for those who only want kernel-headers installed." What does that mean? Is there anyway I can get kernel headers for my currently running kernel (2.2.13-7mdksmp)? -- Axalon's Reply -- "Nope means somebody doesn't know what they are talking about much less doing... Edit /usr/src/linux/Makefile add the smp onto EXTRAVERSION, make clean make dep".
Re: [newbie] Still SMP troubles...
hold on a sec i had the same prob with mandrake 6.0 myself. What i did was download the kernel source and did it that way worked for me. I think what it is is it can't understand the mdksmp part right it freaks it somehow? hope this helps ralph - Original Message - From: "John May" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 1999 8:38 PM Subject: [newbie] Still SMP troubles...
