vmware-server 1.0.1 and kernel *.19 [solved]

Hi,
since I upgraded the kernel from 2.6.18 to .19 I cant get my vmware-server running. Has anybody else this problem?

I ran vmware-config.pl again but it always crashes with:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.19-ARCH'
  CC [M]  /tmp/vmware-config2/vmnet-only/driver.o
  CC [M]  /tmp/vmware-config2/vmnet-only/hub.o

make: *** [vmnet.ko] Fehler 2
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config2/vmnet-only'
Unable to build the vmnet module.

I try to create this error in english later, but maybe u know the problem already. I found sth about a any-any-patch but I couldnt find out if this is related to arch.

Would be great if somebody could give me a hint.

Btw, Merry Christmas [/i]

You have to patch the vmnet kernel module. Look at the vmware-server-modules PKGBUILD in AUR or here: http://nerdbynature.de/bits/2.6.19-rc5/

Merry Christmas to you too.
Yes. The problem is related to the any-any-patch.
Get the latest version of the patch and run it. That should solve the problem.
If for whatever reason it fails then, and only then, look for this file:
/lib/modules/2.6.18-ARCH/build/include/linux/version.h, and make sure it  contains a line for the UTS_RELEASE, and if it does not, add at the end the following: define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.19-ARCH"
Then run the patch again.

Hope it helps.

Running the any-any-patch was enough.

Thanks a lot for your help!
