Ciao,
sto cercando di installare vmware Server 1 su opensuse 11.2 32bit.
Inizialmente avevo un errore in compilazione che poi ho risolto con una patch:
vmware-update-2.6.31-5.5.9
Questa patch contiene uno shell script che sistema il problema; però nel file readme c'è anche una nota:

init_mm (2.6.29 and above):
----------------------
You must re-export init_mm to use this vmware version with newer kernels
For this, you must apply the patch 2.6.29-export-init_mm.patch
(or kernel-version-export-init_mm.patch) to your kernel sources and rebuild your kernel.
(unless your distribution did this for you).
To check its kinda easy.
If the build fails with "unknown symbol" and "init_mm not found",
then you know you're missing it.

Non ho capito molto ma il mio kernel è:

dba3:~/Download/vmware-update-2.6.31-5.5.9 # uname -a
Linux dba3 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2009-10-26 15:49:03 +0100 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

e l'errore che prendo è:

WARNING: "init_mm" [/tmp/vmware-config15/vmmon-only/vmmon.ko] undefined!
CC /tmp/vmware-config15/vmmon-only/vmmon.mod.o
LD [M] /tmp/vmware-config15/vmmon-only/vmmon.ko
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.31.5-0.1-obj/i386/desktop'
cp -f vmmon.ko ./../vmmon.o
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config15/vmmon-only'
Unable to make a vmmon module that can be loaded in the running kernel:
insmod: error inserting '/tmp/vmware-config15/vmmon.o': -1 Unknown symbol in module
There is probably a slight difference in the kernel configuration between the
set of C header files you specified and your running kernel. You may want to
rebuild a kernel based on that directory, or specify another directory.

Dovrei applicare la patch: patch 2.6.29-export-init_mm.patch ma come si fà?
Che devo fare?

Ciao.
Grazie.
