Hi Jon and thanks for your reply.
the kernel source as above. You're not running the Xen kernel by any chance
are you?


First of all, can you double check that your running kernel version
matches
Sure I can:

Linux lajka3 2.6.18.8-0.3-default #1 SMP Tue Apr 17 08:42:35 UTC 2007
i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

But I'm not sure it should be SMP, and cannot remember what SMP is ?

I'm not sure, that I ran Xen kernel at the point of updating VMware.

Could be, because after a reboot -yes you are reading right :-) - I
could run the vmware-config.pl ok

At the very simplest, the script cannot build the vmmon kernel module :-) The
real question, of course, is why is it exiting out. VMware workstation is
pretty straightforward on 10.2. If it's still failing miserably, you could
try using the any-any update from here:
http://en.opensuse.org/Setting_up_VMware_on_SUSE_Linux#Download_and_Apply_vmware-any-any-update

Hope this helps,
Jon

Then I came to the point where I could start up VMware, but got this:

"The network bridge on device /dev/vmnet0 is temporarily down because
the bridged Ethernet interface is down".

What should I do now ?
