Even a minor kernel upgrade can break VMWare Server.<br /><br />In fact, after I got VMWare to work, I made sure I would never accidentally upgrade the kernel (added an exclude on kernel* to my yum.conf) <br /><br />I wish I could help more, but I've never ran across an issue with vmmon module version mismatch. If you've compiled vmmon and vmnet against your latest kernel, then it *should* match fine.<br /><br />The only thing I could recommend is taking your exact error message and posting on the VMWare Communities. People are pretty responsive there.<br /><br />I really do sympathize with your frustration, and hope you're able to get it working!<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />PhilipPhilip Tennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430951600620189760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909506553793484139.post-11401091706427615282009-08-18T17:00:51.007-04:002009-08-18T17:00:51.007-04:00Hi Phillip:

Maybe my kernel version ( 2.6.29-6-217 ) won't work with your described steps ?<br /><br />Do you have any recommendation ? Is very frustrating to achieve all the steps and have this "minus" error at the very end!!<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Mitchel AlioschaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10885742708604515437noreply@blogger.com
