Try reading some of the older closed bugs from about a year ago. I've patched those exact errors probably dozens of times by hand... if you know a little C they're actually pretty easy to figure out manually. Another place to look is on the VMWare forums. Search the vmware "community" site (if you feel like it's so aesthetically ugly and unusable it can't possibly the right place, you've found it) for your error messages, and try the first 20 links or so... you'll definitely find it. However, you should know that the module building "framework" vmware provides is really fussy -- to a shocking degree -- when it comes to everything needing to be in sync -- /lib/modules, /usr/src/linux, and the running kernel, and maybe other places too, really need to all be freshly compiled against the exact same toolchain or else, generally, vmware will invariably find a way to fuck up your world. Also watch out for CFLAGS and changed gcc versions -- those can definitely change the ABI your kernel needs and cause breakage. But in this case (assuming you are compiling against the right kernel in the first place) you have a missing patch to google for. (scare quotes on "framework" just 'cause it pisses me off so bad -- but in truth it is a Real(tm) framework, just not a very bleeding-edge friendly one) (In reply to Greg Turner from comment #4) > Try reading some of the older closed bugs from about a year ago.

I did read through and try a few patches and forced some onto 3.10.25 but no luck. I sat through some C courses 20 years ago, so after all this time I might still remember what a pointer is, but it would be a great feat of ingenuity for me to manage to scratch out a 'hello world' :) OK, some success..not perfect but enought to get going... I found this patch set... https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462666 its for 271.2-r1 vmware-modules, so I installed this patch, and emerge worstation v9 which pulled in 271.2 (no -r1). It failed, but then I explicity build with emerge =app-emulation/vmware-modules-271.2-r1 it pulled in the patch and worked. I can now get going again I hope. SO now if we can get this setup to work with 279.1 and vmware workstation v10, I will hopefully be able to get this installed! well, not that I got it started it appears the newer version of ICU 51.x causes issues with me. Oh the joy! here is what I get now after the patch I mentioned above...http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-958226-start-0.html I hope when I can get an updated patch for v10 , 279, and 3.10.25 maybe I can actually start a vm. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=465126 here is a bug report for above, tried several things, but it does mention v10 appeared to work, sort of .. I force fed the patch from https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462666 by changing its name to 279-userns.patch and adding the line kernel_is ge 3 8 0 && epatch "${FILESDIR}/${PV_MAJOR}-userns.patch" to src_prepare and it compiled! I need to get a hold of a lic key now since it wont let me have a trial for some reason, but, I will let you know. From my point of view I just took an axe into surgery, so hopefully someone with better patching skills than I can update the patch correctly as I have no clue what I am doing. I only know enough to be dangerous here :) well, v10 wont let me continue with a trial copy, but I got my vm to start using vmware-player which installs with workstation as well. I have to get boss to upgrade my v8 license, but that might take a bit. However, it appears I can at least start my vms back up until I get this resovled. got workstation 10 licensed. Fix from the above mentioned bug worked after mangling the ebuild and renaming patch. Please check it out and update ebuilds. Looks like this one passes through several builds of vmware modules. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 462666 *** |
