After installing new kernel in RHEL5 VMware server is not working
OS: RHEL5
Old kernel version 2.6.18-53 .elpae
Updated kernel version: 2.6.18-164.el5
[root@localhost ~]# vmware-config.pl
Making sure services for VMware Server are stopped.
Stopping VMware services:
Virtual machine monitor [ OK ]
Configuring fallback GTK+ 2.4 libraries.
In which directory do you want to install the mime type icons?
[/usr/share/icons]
What directory contains your desktop menu entry files? These files have a
.desktop file extension. [/usr/share/applications]
In which directory do you want to install the application's icon?
[/usr/share/pixmaps]
Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]
Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
[root@localhost ~]#
The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is an existing directory, but it does not
contain a "linux" subdirectory as expected.
Older kernel version 2.6.18-53 .elpae
Solved! Go to Solution.
