[Solved] Kernel 3.2 wont re-patch vmware for new kernel build

Hi, I looked for the same thing and didnt find it, I had vmplayer running great -> enter new kernel 3.2. When it went to build the new modules because the kernel changed it failed  with log of:

So I thought ok maybe it needs the 3.2 patch, so I un-installed then reinstalled but it wouldn't let me run the patch saying that my sources are alreay patched, I need this machine to do my work and I now at a dead stop.

thanks for your help on this.

Re: [Solved] Kernel 3.2 wont re-patch vmware for new kernel build

Check if there is a ".patched" file under vmware source folder: /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/

I have to remove that file to run the patch again - the original patch script does not include vmware version 8.0.1.

Re: [Solved] Kernel 3.2 wont re-patch vmware for new kernel build

Thanks for the reply, what I did was downgrade, but I will try that later after I get done with my coding today. Oh and the old script will work with 801 if you go into the script and change the versions variable. The range for versions had the same value in each 8.0.0 or 4.0.0 for player, if you change the value to 8.0.1 and 4.0.1 it worked fine.

thanks again,

PS I found that .patched file so I will try it later thanks

Re: [Solved] Kernel 3.2 wont re-patch vmware for new kernel build

OK it all worked accept for one small bit, with the new patch there is a bug in the script. It calls for

 /sbin/lsmod which doesn't exist. 
It exists in /bin/lsmod

So I guess you could mod the script but I just symlinked the path and it worked fine.

ln -s /bin/lsmod /sbin/lsmod

thanks again for your help and I hope this little bit gets found by who needs it.
