hope this helps.
[a fairly detailed introduction.]
Somehow who did a few unnecessary steps and (I believe) didn't recognize
the true cause of the problem. We need neither to install VMware nor to
deal with anything else such as a NVidia driver.
The truth is that the kernel modules built with vmware.config.pl don't
work (anymore) with SUSE kernels. What DOES work are the modules
(avail. in the
k_deflt-2.4.21-99 kernel that's already there) that are generated from the km_vmware source package.
That is, You have to reconfigure the right kernel modules (from km_vmware) after the vmware-config.
So, what you need to do is:
a) with a standard SuSE kernel
After the normal configuration of vmware you replace the three vmware-config generated kernel modules located in /lib/modules/2.4.21-99-default/misc with those of the supplied kernel. For vmware-config the kernel sources have to be installed and a make dep run. Additionally, you need km_vmware.
To be run once:
cd /usr/src
ln -s linux-2.4.21-99 linux
cd linux
make cloneconfig
make dep && make clean
cd /usr/src/kernel-modules/vmware
make -f Makefile.module
Then at every VMware configuration:
vmware-config.pl
stop vmware (/etc/init.d/vmware stop) cd /usr/src/kernel-modules/vmware
make -f Makefile.module install
start vmware
b) with self made Kernels from SuSE sources:
install the Kernel source module km_vmware.
To be run once:
cd /usr/src
ln -s "your Kernel dir" linux
cd /usr/src/kernel-modules/vmware
make -f Makefile.module
Then at every VMware configuration:
vmware-config.pl
stop vmware
cd /usr/src/kernel-modules/vmware
make -f Makefile.module install
start vmware
That's how you generate modules adapted for your kernel.
