*** Bug 218276 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
dang ... figured I'd be the first to file this. ;) Is it worth pulling down vmware-modules-1.0.0.18 from the vmware overlay and trying it? I am in the middle of a project that needs VMware Workstation, so I'm stuck on 2.6.24 until this gets resolved.
Looking at other places, seems like a different issue was found and fixed. I could not make this work. http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=47332
Edward, no it isn't, vmware-modules-1.0.0.18 is for vmware-server 2 *only* which is badly broken, please don't use it. The dependencies in the ebuilds blocking off the vmware-module versions are there for a reason, each version of the modules is for a particular version of the vmware products and forcin upgrades yourself won't help. At the moment, the only product whose modules compile against 2.6.25 is the beta version of vmware workstation (6.5.0.84113) which is not recommended for production use (it's not *that* unstable, but it's a debugging build and therefore quite slow). We're currently investigating patches for vmware-any-any that will successfully cure the problem without breaking compilation against older kernels. Ideally a new version of vmware-any-any would be released, but the guys don't seem to have made a release in over 6 months, including a release to fix compatability with 2.6.24 (we're using another patch that people dubbed vmware-any-any-update116, but wasn't released by the normal release channels). It will take a bit of time to get this working, so for anyone who relies on this, please continue using the 2.6.24 kernel whilst we get this sorted out. (Alon, thanks for the link, we'll take a look and see if that patch works too). 5:)
*** Bug 218561 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
There is new any-any-patch at following URL: http://vmkernelnewbies.googlegroups.com/web/vmware-any-any-update-116.tgz
But it doesn't solve the problem. Sorry
vmware-any-any-update116, as found on sites like the one you just posted, are just vmware-any-any-update115 with a couple of nasty patches applied (there's a header change, and possibly a version number change to get it to work with later workstation versions). These have already been applied to our modules, so probably won't help. Thanks for pointing it out, but we're really after update117 from most places, or we'll take 116 if it shows up on the normal czech distribution site used for official vmware-any-any releases. 5:) We'll also accept any other patches people may have, if we test them out and they work... 5:)
Has anyone looked at the patches provided at: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-5066120.html#5066120 It seems like the user claims it compiles and works after the patch.
the patches from that post above seem to work. Can we please package them as r2?
Thanks for the pointer to the patches, I'll take a look at them this evening and try and get them integrated into the overlay. The ebuilds will stay as -r1, since everyone that already has them installed doesn't need to upgrade for any reason, and this only affects people who can't install it. If there were some added functionality or a bug present in an existing build, then we'd bump it to -r2. So hopefully sometime tonight the patches should be present and ready to go. Thanks again for spotting them... 5:)
Same problem with open-vmware-tools, see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215630 ".../vmware-modules-1.0.0.17-r1/work/vmblock-only] Error 2" ".../open-vm-tools-2008.01.23-74039/modules/linux/vmblock] Error 2"
Ok, the latest patches have been checked in to the overlay for testing, but I haven't yet gone to my home machine to check that vmware runs ok under them, so BEWARE. I'm particularly interested in testers who have *not* upgraded to 2.6.25, to check that the patches haven't broken anything for them. Also any users of the vmblock module under workstation 6, I'll be testing this myself, but be aware that drag and drop may fail/break badly/run away with your dog. I hacked up a patch based on one for AUFS, but it may be completely wrong and/or fail to do something it should. Please let me know if there's *any* problems with any of the -r1 ebuilds on any version of gentoo-sources...

Regards Ian
Works for me (sort of). Specifically:(dual core Athlon64 X2/4 GB of RAM) 1. I added the vmware overlay, etc., and "emerge -v =vmware-modules-1.0.0.17-r1" works with both 2.6.24-r6 and 2.6.25-r1 2. Both of them boot fine and VMware Workstation 6 starts up fine on both of them. I did not attempt to boot up a virtual machine, but will be doing that tomorrow. The "sort of" refers to the fact that even though I have =app-emulation/vmware-workstation-6.5.0.84113 =app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.18 =app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.19 in /etc/portage/package,mask, portage insists I have blockers when I try to update: [ebuild fU ] app-emulation/vmware-workstation-6.5.0.84113 [6.0.3.80004] 0 kB [0=>1] [ebuild U ] app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.19 [1.0.0.17-r1] 0 kB [1] [blocks B ] <app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.19 (is blocking app-emulation/vmware-workstation-6.5.0.84113) [blocks B ] >=app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.18 (is blocking app-emulation/vmware-workstation-6.0.3.80004) So I am going to back this all out until things are sane. But it does appear to "work".
The overlays version of vmware-modules-1.0.0.17-r1 works nicely here on a vanilla-sources 2.6.23.11. Works nicely together with vmware-player-2.0.3.80004 , virtual machines behave as expected.
Ok guys, thanks very much for all your help testing this out. The new patches have now been pushed into the tree, so I'm going to mark this as FIXED. If there are any issues here, please file a new bug and we'll work on them there... 5:)
I forgot to mention, Edward, your problem is bug 186062 and sadly it's normal behaviour...

Yep, unfortunately in 2.6.26 the init_mm function is going away. In 2.6.25 it's present but marked as don't use. There's a kernel option, CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS, require when using the 2.6.25 kernel. When 2.6.26 comes out, if the any-any sources still haven't been updated, this is gonna give us a real headache... 5:(
Worksforme. If you don't have CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS the vmware init.d script will try to start, but always fails and says you need to re-emerge vmware-modules and run vmware-config.pl: * Starting xinetd ... [ ok ] * VMware Server is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured * for the running kernel. * Please ensure that the modules have been compiled for this kernel: * emerge --oneshot vmware-modules * Also ensure VMware Server has been configured: * /opt/vmware/server/bin/vmware-config.pl * VMware is not properly configured! See above. I guess it can drive the average user mad, as there is not a warning of any kind about the kernel option; what do you think about adding something like this to the init.d ? if [ -n "$(uname -r | grep ^2\.6\.25)" ] && [ ! -n "$(grep init_mm /proc/kallsyms)" ]; then ...Warning stuff... fi

Hi Thomas, Your poll_initwait problem is not related to the 2.6.25 kernel. It suggests an error during the test for the presence of poll_initwait which then causes vmware to define it's own (which then conflicts). This was previously down to gcc turning warnings into errors, however because of the patches we've applied that hasn't been the case for a long time. In a few other circumstances, it was related to the kernel being built against (and the poll_initwait function being moved between files in the kernel). This shouldn't have affected the 2.6.25 kernel to my knowledge (and we've had no other reports), but I noticed that you're using the tux-on-ice kernel, rather than vanilla-sources or gentoo-sources. Unfortunately, we can't support every kernel available (support just the vanilla and gentoo sources takes quite a lot in itself), so I haven't much to suggest, other than reverting to an older kernel source that did compile correctly. Either way, your bug isn't the same as the one seen here, and if you'd like us to try following up on it, please open it as a separate bug. Thanks...

I had the same error as Thomas, and I opened a dedicated bug as you suggested, but has been marked as dup :) Well if you need any help, decide where keep things going on, and ask whatever you need: I hope we'll find a solution to the problem... cheers
Ok, I tried to play around a bit. The compiler said that the problem is the duplicate declaration of the poll_initwait function, so I commented out the poll_initwait in /usr/src/linux/include/linux/poll.h. The previous error disappeared, but there is a new: # emerge -av vmware-modules These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Thomas, Yours isn't a duplicate, sorry, the bug wranglers have a huge number of bugs to go through and it's not always possible for them to directly match up issues, or read the bugs to see that you'd already posted here. I'm going to reopen your bug, and we'll continue the discussion there...
Doh, Sorry, seems I got a bit confused between Thomas and Deadhead, sorry. Deadhead, I've re-opened your bug and have some things for you to try. Thomas, I'm happy for you to join us on that bug as well if you'd like? Also, commenting out the poll_wait implementation in the linux kernel isn't a good idea. What you really want is the vmware-modules to figure out that your kernel already has it. This could be causing the second problem (it assumes it's using its version of the second function, because it's using its version of the first function, but in fact, it's using the kernel version). The reason it isn't correctly detecting whether EPOLL wait exists is because the Makefile.kernel is trying to compile a small C file with the functions and any failures (or warnings with later gcc versions) cause it to assume the function doesn't exist. It calls a small function called vm_check_build. As I recall from over a year ago when I was originally trying to fix this bug, this gets called twice and the second time it outputs a warning and everything starts going wrong. However, the vmware-any-any patch set correctly ignores the new warnings, and this should all be working fine (which is why I can't figure out why you're seeing this now). If you want to investigate further, finding out what the function is calling, and what the actual error is, is your best bet...
i think we can close as we had a version bump
I'll probably leave this open due to the init_mm issue still present, particularly as 2.6.26 is around the corner...
I hope I found the right bug this time. :) Any thoughts on this (yes, I did just change CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS=y in my .config)? * vmware-any-any-update115.tar.gz RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ...

No, you're quite right. I was wondering if you could test something for me though? It seems you're on 2.6.24 building for 2.6.25. Could you please build 2.6.25 and start running it and then try rebuilding the modules? It shouldn't have any effect, but I'd like to rule it out...
I have built (and even installed) 2.6.25 (-r7), but I can't really use it with VMware not working. I can carve out some time to reboot the machine and test trying to build the modules with 2.6.25 itself, but that will take me a couple of days at least, and quite possibly until the weekend. I will report back with the results.

Hiya Willard, sorry, you're after bug 227303 for the 2.6.26 kernel...
fixed with new releases.
Ok guys, this should all be working now. Could anyone still using this combination of kernel and vmware-modules test this out and let me know please? Thanks... 5:)
2.6.26 here, modules compile but vmware is still broken.
works for me, amd64, i can start virtual machines.
Jonathan, you're using 2.6.26, which is mostly being dealt with in bug 227303. Also, please could you provide a few more words than "vmware is still broken"? Is it failing when starting the service, or is when you try to start the vmware program, or when you try to start a virtual machine? Do you get any warning or error messages? Does it just die, or does it hang the machine, or does it completely crash it? Any further details might help us figure out where the problem is, but just being broken doesn't tell me anything... I'll leave this as TEST-REQUEST until I've had a response for 2.6.25 with .15-r1/.17-r1 on x86...
Service fails to start. I'm *guessing* this may have been fixed upstream with the new build of 6.0.5, but portage wants a version of vmware-workstation that isn't available any more, the particular build has been superceded. Realised I've posted in the wrong kernel thread as it were, yes I'm on 2.6.26. Portage just needs bumped to reflect the build that is available on the VMWare website.
Hiya Jonathan, just quickly, can you try modprobing all the vmware modules before starting the service and let me know if that helps? That's a known problem which affects 2.6.26 if you haven't allowed forced module loading (which is disabled by default). I thought I'd fixed the issue, at least in the overlay, but I'll double check it...

The init script was only loading vmblock, manually modprobing vmmon and vmnet, then running the vmware-config.pl script starts the vmware service fine. Now workstation starts, but I cannot run any virtual machines due to a vmmon version mismatch (expecting 168.0, got 169.0). I assume this is down to vmware-modules getting updated last night, but not vmware-workstation due to v6.0.5 build 109488 being unavailable any more. So hopefully if vmware-modules and vmware-workstation ebuilds get updated to use 6.5.0 build 118166 vmware will be working again.
