Looks like the Makefile.kernel file that the patch is targeted for doesn't have the code in it that the patch would have taken out if it succeeded.... why have the patch at all? Now, that code _is_ in the Makefile file, but a different patch would need to be generated. Am I way off? Thanks! :)
Once I uncommented the patch in the ebuild and regenerated the manifest, the emerge of this package succeeded.

Sorry, the bug-wranglers having been having a hard time of it recently, so I've only just spotted this. I'm reassigning it and I'll take a look into it when I have a bit more time...
Same issue here, also on amd64.

Building with the patch commented out, it does build but the resulting modules fail to work. I can't get bridged networking to work at all, and NAT won't get an IP address. I get errors starting up VMs with bridged networking saying: The network bridge on device /dev/vmnet0 is not running. The virtual machine will not be able to communicate with the host or with other machines on your network. Failed to connect virtual device Ethernet0. This after uninstalling vwmare-modules and vmware-workstation, wiping the /etc/vmware directory, reinstalling the above two packages and re-running vmware-config.pl. This is with 2.6.25-gentoo-r4 and workstation 6.5.0.91182 from the overlay. This was working flawlessly prior to rebuilding recently, so I don't know if this is the missing patch or the fact that I just rebuilt everything with gcc 4.3.0. I know, beta workstation from an overlay and not-ready-for-prime-time gcc. ;-) I am providing this for informational purposes in case it helps with fixing this.
Forgot to mention, I also ended up with two notification area icons for the same single VM I had running.
Dropping to vmware-modules 1.0.0.17-r1 and vmware-workstation 6.0.3.80004 from Portage, there are no problems. So perhaps gcc 4.3.0 has nothing to do with this, just the patch that won't apply?
Jose, Sorry I haven't had chance to reply yet. The patch that won't apply only relates to the vmblock module as far as I can tell, so if you're seeing weirdness elsewhere, that's probably not related to the patch. Also the networking error suggests that you don't have the bridged interface set-up correctly, please try re-running the config.pl and choosing to re-entered your network settings to see if that will help. Finally, I have been changing the source package that provides vmware-modules-1.0.0.19 recently because of vmware server 2 beta 2's release (not to mention the point release that requires new modules for just about *every* other vmware product). I will try to get this looked at as soon as possible, but as you point out, it's beta software from an overlay so I'm afraid it'll get fixed when it gets fixed. Sorry and thanks for your patience...

I deleted the interface in the VM, wiped the /etc/vmware directory, uninstalled and reinstalled vmware-modules and vmware-workstation, and re-ran vmware-config.pl and re-created the eth0 interface in the VM, so I don't think it was setup. After downgrading to the release version in Portage, the same config is working as I kept my networking settings when running vmware-config.pl. I remember seeing this same behavior in the first 6.5 beta release but it went away after the second beta with new vmware-modules. > > I will try to get this looked at as soon as possible, but as you point out, > it's beta software from an overlay so I'm afraid it'll get fixed when it gets > fixed. Sorry and thanks for your patience... Not a problem, I can still run VMs with the release version. I was just providing as much info as possible in case others have similar problems.
Hi, removing the patch from the ebuid did it for me, vmware-server beta 2 runs smooth, altough the init script complains that the management doesnt start, but it does. I am quite happy since the idle load with 3 running vm's dropped from 1.2 to 0.1 :)
Hi guys, Sorry, I think this may actually have already been fixed. Could one of you please try updating your overlay (make sure you're at revision 284) and then see if rebuild vmware-modules works for you? I seem to have commented out the vsock patch (which was causing the issues) and like I say, it shouldn't have affected anything else (I'd begin considering gcc-4.3.0 issues there if you're seeing weirdness). Anyway, I'm going to mark this as closed, but if you think it isn't, feel free to prod me with some form of long stick type implement and I'll look at it again... 5;)
