Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-headers-2.6.27-10-server
Just as the summary says. utsrelease.h says the version is 2.6.27-7 (or
something very close), rather than saying 2.6.27-10-server. This
confuses the VMWare 2.0 installer to the point where it won't function.
The complaint is that the version of the kernel doesn't match the
version of the headers. Changing utsrelease.h to
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.27-10-server"
allows VMWare 2.0 to install and function normally. So I'm guessing the
change should have been made and this is just an oversight
I'm using 8.10 as a workstation with the server kernel for the PAE
support.
Of course, now that I look further, this is fixed in linux-
headers-2.6.27-11-server. But I think 2.6.27-10-server is still the
default server kernel for Ibex, so this might bear fixing.
