[SOLVED] vmware server and kernel 2.6.26

I'm having trouble building the vmware-server-modules and I see that there is a patch for the 2.6.24 and 2.6.25 versions of the kernel.  I've got 2.6.26, is there a module patch for this kernel version?

FYI, the error I'm getting while building the vmware-server-modules is:

I hope so, I've got a few websites running on a VM and I'd like to not move them to the host machine.

Re: [SOLVED] vmware server and kernel 2.6.26

I thought about rolling back, but since I've already done a pacman -Syu and everything else is up to date, it might be tough.  I wish vmware-server could make it into extra.

Well, look for vmware-any-any-update-117d and problem solved.


They say that if you play a Win cd backward you hear satanic messages. That's nothing! 'cause if you play it forwards, it installs windows.

Re: [SOLVED] vmware server and kernel 2.6.26

I've modified PizzaPunk's PKGBUILD to include the patches from http://groups.google.com/group/vmkernelnewbies/files (VMware-server-vmmon-1.0.6-91891-2.6.26-1.patch & VMware-server-vmnet-1.0.6-91891-2.6.26-1.patch).

If anyone's interested: vmware-server-modules

I have to thank you as well. VMWare server now works perfectly using kernel 2.6.26.

Re: [SOLVED] vmware server and kernel 2.6.26

Thanks Foutrelis! I've got a few development systems running in VMware so that gets me back up and running.

Cheers!

Last time I upgrade kernels without testing first

Re: [SOLVED] vmware server and kernel 2.6.26

Help Foutrelis!! Where's the PKGBUILD gone? Could you please post it here in the forum so that it won't disappear in the future?!
