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:

Same here, haven't found a solution yet. I trust PizzaPunk is on it....

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.

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.

ummm... dont see it....

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.

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

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?!
