This link only discusses patches with the 3.2 kernel, not the 2.6.42 kernel. I realise they are closely related, but I doubt that those patches will work for 2.6.X kernels. > i would "yum --enablerepo=3Dupdates-testing update kernel\*" > "2.6.42.3-2" made me crazy and forced me to completly remove > VMwareWorkstation, remove pacthes and start again "Good to hear" that I'm not the only one. :-) I've had to drop back the a 2.6.41.10 kernel to also Workstation to run. > last week "kernel-2.6.42.6-3.fc15.x86_64" arrived in updates-testing > and oh wonder after reboot the modules was rebuilt automatically > and vmware-service started - the first time that they are here before > calling vmware as root and wait compile This is helpful. I'll try the 2.6.42.6-3 kernel and hope for the same results. Thanks for your help!
