[solved] vmware server 1.0.4 build 56528 and kernel 2.6.25

hi,

i updated to kernel 2.6.25 and tried to reinstall vmware server 1.0.4 build 56528 according to the wiki description.

running the vmware-any-any-update-117-very-ALPHA.tgz patch failed, because vmware-2.6.25.sh tries to patch vmblock.tar, which does not exist. instead of this there is vmppuser.tar in the sources directory.

any ideas?

thx & rgds
hcjl

with vmware server 1.0.5 the same problem occurs.

i solved the problem very smartly by installing vmware server 2.0 beta. works like a charm without any patch.

Hey, hcjl. Do you have a PKGBUILD for v. 2.0 beta?

Yeah I have this exact same problem with the current stable version of VMware.  I will definitely try the beta 2.0 and see if my laptop can run Autodesk Inventor with it in a virtual Windows environment.
