VMware Server 1.06 mit Kernel 2.6.26
Man kennt es ja mittlerweile. VMware Server 1.x wird von der Firma VMware sträflich vernachlässigt. Zwar wird fleißig an Version 2 gearbeitet, doch für meinen VIA C3 bietet die neue Version einfach zu viel Overhead. Außerdem gefällt mir die Web-GUI nicht. Ganz davon abgesehen, dass ich mit der aktuellen Version 2.0 RC1 virtuelle Maschinen nicht mehr starten kann.
Mit dem originalen Patch von rsbac.org gibt es folgende Kompilierungsfehler:
Using 2.6.x kernel build system. make: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config2/vmmon-only' make -C /lib/modules/2.6.26/build/include/.. SUBDIRS=$PWD SRCROOT=$PWD/. modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.26' CC [M] /tmp/vmware-config2/vmmon-only/linux/driver.o /tmp/vmware-config2/vmmon-only/linux/driver.c:171: error: unknown field 'nopage' specified in initializer /tmp/vmware-config2/vmmon-only/linux/driver.c:172: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type /tmp/vmware-config2/vmmon-only/linux/driver.c:175: error: unknown field 'nopage' specified in initializer /tmp/vmware-config2/vmmon-only/linux/driver.c:176: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type make[2]: *** [/tmp/vmware-config2/vmmon-only/linux/driver.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [_module_/tmp/vmware-config2/vmmon-only] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.26' make: *** [vmmon.ko] Error 2 make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config2/vmmon-only' Unable to build the vmmon module.
Aus diesem Grund musste der aktuelle VMware-any-any-update117 Patch an den neuen Kernel 2.6.26 angepasst werden. Dank den fleißigen Asiaten entstand nun der IT-Psycho Patch: vmware-any-any-update117-itpsycho.tar.bz2 (403,15 KB)

Moin!
Der Patch funktioniert übrigens auch mit VMWare Workstation 6.0.4, dort tritt sonst der gleiche Fehler auf.
PS: Ich mag den Server v2 auch nicht… Die WebGUI ist einfach zu lahm und installiert viel zu viel Müll
Mahlzeit,
für VMware Workstation 6.0.x gibt es auch noch einen dedizierten Patch mit den richtigen Modulversionen; diese unterscheiden sich von VMware Server 1.x:

Gruß
Der Patch funktioniert auch mit VMware Workstation 5.5.7
Danke!
Hello, I have succesfully used your patch with a 2.6.26-1 debian testing kernel. You should submit your patch to vmware as it is greatly needed by alot of people!
Thanks alot!
Hi peterrus,
thanks for your comment. Sadly, VMware is not interested in using externally provided patchsets. Thats why the “vmware-any-any” patches still exist and being maintained by third parties.
Regards
bei mir auf debian lenny mit einem 2.6.26-1-amd64 kernel gibts mit dem patch beim starten von VMs einen hard-reset…
unter Fedora 9 (Kernel: 2.6.26.5-45.fc9.x86_64) tritt auch ein hard-reset auf…
lars & matze: Lief denn eigentlich schonmal der VMware Server 1.x unter euren 64-Bit Kerneln?
Ja, das lief bei mir schon. Mittlerweile hab ich die 1.07er Version zum laufen gebracht, dazu folgende Links:

Naja ich hab ihn noch nit gestartet weil ich hab das hier nur in ner VM probiert ;)
Merci!
Der obige Patch arbeitet hier unter Debian mit 2.26.2 und VMWare Server 1.0.10!
Danke an dich und die Asiaten
Hi!!
This patch worked for me on Debian Lenny 2.26.2-686 THANKYOU VERY MUCH!!!!
Bei der neusten VMware Workstation funktioniert der Patch sogar auch, Danke!
Hallo,
nach Installation des Securityupdates (http://www.debian.org/security/2011/dsa-2310) wird zwar das vmnet Modul gebaut, allerdings funktioniert es nicht :(
Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Sep 19 06:13:12 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
VMware Server 1.0.10 build-203137
Schade
Wenn ich was dazu beitragen kann um den Patch anzupassen mache ich das gerne.
