Kernel config
The gentoo kernel 2.6.28 config file.
In this bug, Brian Johnson said that he has the same problem: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=227303#c3 I still have the problem in 1.0.0.22, with kernel 2.6.27-r7. *** Bug 253349 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Hi guys, There are security issues with <=vmware-workstation-6.0.5, if you're trying to install vmware-workstation, you should be using vmware-workstation-6.5.0+ (see bug 245941). I've just masked off the older versions of vmware-workstation, to avoid issues such as this. At the moment, the only modules that will build properly with 2.6.28 are vmware-modules-1.0.0.23, which only work with vmware-workstation-6.5.0+ or vmware-player-2.5.0+. Hope that clears things up... I still want to install vmware-workstation 6.0.x b/c vmware-workstation-6.5.0 is too large. Many guys have this vmware-modules problem. I think this bug should be fixed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 227303 *** (In reply to comment #8) > > *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 227303 *** > well, I think this problem is a little different from bug 227303, in this bug the error message is about "asm/semaphore.h", not "nopage". I am looking forward to seeing this bug fixed since it really sucks. Everybody's always looking forward to seeing their bug fixed, since their bugs always suck. I'm telling you now, I will not support old packages that have security vulnerabilities, whether you think the newer package is too large or not. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 242256 *** |
