Unable to make a vmmon module that can be loaded in the running kernel:
insmod: error inserting '/tmp/vmware-config1/vmmon.o': -1 Unknown symbol in module
There is probably a slight difference in the kernel configuration between the
set of C header files you specified and your running kernel.  You may want to
rebuild a kernel based on that directory, or specify another directory.

Comment 1 Heiko Helmle 2004-02-16 06:59:26 UTC
Hit return too early :)

Same problem with 'vanilla' development-sources >2.6.3_rc2, this is not a gentoo-dev-sources specific problem.
