Working Vmware 2.6.25 patches

Finally working Vmware patches!
Tested with Vmware Player 2.0.3_80004 and with Vmware Workstation .6.0.3_80004

vmnet and vmmon patches are adapted from patches from gentoo forum:

vmblock patch is made by myself big_smile

Re: Working Vmware 2.6.25 patches

They worked, on VMware Workstation too! big_smile:D:D
Thanks!

I made an updated PKGBUILD for the vmware-workstation-modules package:

Re: Working Vmware 2.6.25 patches

@Venator85: Thanks for this PKGBUILD. I'm having a problem, though.

I want to use VMware Workstation 6.0.3 build 80004 with kernel 2.6.25. Here's my procedure:

(1) Install VMware 6.0.3 as normal, but stop at the point where it asks if I want to run vmware-config.pl.

(2) Build the custom modules using your PKGBUILD, then install the custom vmmon, vmnet and vmblock modules using pacman -U vmware-workstation-modules-6.0.3_80004-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz.

(3) Run vmware-config.pl again. This time, though, I get an error saying that the vmmon, vmnet and vmblock modules are already installed, but not by vmware. It says to remove the modules, then try again.

Of course, if I remove the modules and try again, I'm back to square one, since the stock modules won't build again kernel 2.6.25.

@ 6xx: Thanks for posting the three patches, and for building the vmblock patch yourself. Besides trying the PKGBUILD that Venator85 wrote, I've also tried manual patching of vmmon.tar, vmnet.tar and vmblock.tar, using the three patches you posted. Although the patches apply successfully, I still can't get the modules to build against kernel 2.6.25.

Has anyone gotten this working for VMware Workstation 6.0.3 and kernel 2.6.25? What am I doing wrong?

Re: Working Vmware 2.6.25 patches

So I've successfully tested it with Workstation 6.0.3.
I've used vmware-player-modules from AUR, from which I've removed sed line and I've added patches. Then I've build vmware-workstation (without any changes to PKGBUILD) package. vmware-config.pl runs succesfully.

PS. I used Reactos as guest system. My system is i686.

O.K., I've got it working now. I was installing Workstation manually, i.e., by running 'vmware-install.pl'. When I installed Workstation via AUR, then it accepted the modules patched by AUR.

There are people over on the VMware communities workstation forum who'd love to be able to use these patched modules, but I imagine they're having the same problem I was having. I wonder if there's a switch so that vmware-config.pl can be made to accept the pre-installed, patched modules.

Either way, thanks very much. Everytime there's a new release of VMware, I get to enjoy this kernel wrestling!

Re: Working Vmware 2.6.25 patches

Yikes! I've got my guest OS (WinXP Pro) up and running, but the clock goes 4x too fast and the CPU is recognized as a measly 155MHz (it's a core 2 duo 2.5GHz). When I load a Linux guest, the cursor jiggles like it's had 100 cups of coffee, and the keyboard produces a string of 4 or 5 characters when I depress a single key one time. It's impossible to enter a user password, for example.

I'll post over on VMware Communities and see if anybody knows. Meanwhile, it looks as if kernel 2.6.25 and WS 6.0.3 are not good companions. Maybe it's because kernel 2.6.25 has supposedly been made "friendlier" to virtualization hmm

ad patching) untar module sources (they are in /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/ and maybe also in /lib/modules/source) and patch them using
cd modulename-only && patch -Np1 < modulename.patch
Then make tarballs from the sources and replace old tar's with appropriate tar's made from patched sources. Run vmware-config.pl and thi is it! Ehmm... I know that it didn't work for dhave but I think this should work.

I'm sorry, but I'm not going to do that. First, I don't have enough time because of school leaving exams. Second, I don't have license and I've wasted free 30-days license for 6.0.3 to test.

If you're talking about the 6.5 beta, it runs fine under kernel 2.6.25 without patching -- or at least it did in my case.

Sure, I can send or post my kernel config. I'm thinking that I might have had to run any-any-update116 on the 6.5 beta, but I'm not sure.

Do you want me to send you the config file in a PM, or by e-mail, or what's best for you? It's about 80 kbytes.

Re: Working Vmware 2.6.25 patches

I installed WKS 6.5 Beta onto Arch 2.6.25 a minute ago and i did not need any any any patch.

The installer finished and when i started vmware it asked for root to compile all modules.

It even shows a GUI with the compile status.

Now running, no patch needed.

Re: Working Vmware 2.6.25 patches

I have tested WKS 6.5 Beta , WKS 6.0.4 and Server 1.0.6 today under kernel 2.6.25 and all worked fine without any patching required.

WKS 604 and Server 1.0.6 are not yet available.

The only problem i had was with loaded bluetooth module i  couldn't power on VM under WKS 6.5 and WKS 6.0.4 but did not have any problem with WKS 6.0.3 + any any patches

After i removed bluetooth from startup and rebooted both wks 6.5 and 6.0.4 worked fine.

Don't know the release dates for wks 6.0.4 and server 1.0.6.

Re: Working Vmware 2.6.25 patches

just tested vmware-workstation 6.0.4-93057 and the module package needs only vmblock.patch  made by 6xx.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
