Please include the output from the "emerge --info" command.
After todays rsync it builds OK ... I guess it was "sse" bug.

See also http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-10/msg00499.html
So this SAME EXACT problem happened to me. I found a solution here: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/188410?tstart=0 So I created an overlay for vmware-modules. Steps to fix: 1. mkdir /usr/local/portage/app-emulation 2. mkdir /usr/local/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules 3. mkdir /usr/local/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules/files 4. cp /usr/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules/vmware-modules-1.0.0.23.ebuild /usr/local/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules 5. Edit /usr/local/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules/vmware-modules-1.0.0.23.ebuild When editing I added the following line after the makefile-kernel-dir.patch line: epatch "${FILESDIR}/${PV}-smpcall-pollinitwait.patch" 5. Copy the attached file (see next comment) into your /usr/local/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules/files directory 6. cd /usr/local/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules 7. ebuild ./vmware-modules-1.0.0.23.ebuild manifest 8. emerge vmware-modules Works perfectly for me. It compiled and installed :)

Reopening... see duplicate bug for a patch.
Guys, can you please try the ebuild in the vmware overlay for vmware-modules-1.0.0.23-r1, and see if that solves your problems? It has a new patch for kernel-2.6.29 which hopefully won't impact on the poll_init_wait function...

Works for most, doesn't work for me. (In reply to comment #17) > the overlay works
Angelo, can you please include the output of "emerge --info"? You might have an unusual CFLAG that causes issues...
Wanna know something weird? I just tried to build it with emerge and it worked. (I use paludis). Something in the ebuild making patch not appying correctly/being overwritten/don't know?
Hmmm, well I'm glad it's building properly, but you'd best file a bug with paludis...

Add PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" to /etc/make.conf BTW, the topic has been changed. Maybe the discussion about problems with kernel 2.6.29 should be in a new bug or the subject should be fixed. I forked the issue I had (see comment #4) to bug 268741.

Adding the PORTDIR_OVERLAY fixed it. Patch as posted in comment #5 above applied, and both vmware-modules-1.0.0.23 and vmware-workstation both emerged just fine on my AMD64 2.6.29-r2 system. Thanks!
since it works ... why can't it be added to official tree ? (In reply to comment #25) > Add PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" to /etc/make.conf > > BTW, the topic has been changed.

here: uname -a Linux virtuHal 2.6.29.1 #6 SMP PREEMPT Fri May 8 10:48:31 CEST 2009 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux works as well, thx.
works perfect! thanks a lot... hopefully this patch could be added into official tree.
The solution worked very well, but I had to use the patch described in http://communities.vmware.com/thread/188410?tstart=0. Thanks!
I've commited new vmware-modules ebuild to portage tree. It has patches for 2.6.29 and 2.6.30.

Please check that you booted the same kernel as you build vmware-modules for. you can reinstall it with emerge -1v vmware-modules or modules-rebuild rebuild Also don't forget to configure networks emerge --config vmware-workstation and start vmware services /etc/init.d/vmware start By the way the last one will load modules, if you have it.
some progress... I've recompiled vmware-modules as you've suggested. I don't see vmware script in /etc/init.d/ so I've loaded vmnet vmmon and vmblock by hand. I start vmware<ENTER> and try to start my winxp VM. I get the following message Version mismath with vmmon module expecting 208.0 got 209.0 You have an incorrect version of vmmon kernel module. Try reinstalling VMware Workstation. I've tried reinstalling several time but the message persists. thanks (In reply to comment #37) > (In reply to comment #36) > > I do have vmware-modules-1.0.0.25 installed. > > modinfo: could not open /lib/modules/2.6.30-gentoo-r5/misc/vmmon.ko: No such > > file or directory > modinfo here says that you do not have it. > > Please check that you booted the same kernel as you build vmware-modules for. > > you can reinstall it with > emerge -1v vmware-modules > or > modules-rebuild rebuild > > Also don't forget to configure networks > emerge --config vmware-workstation > and start vmware services > /etc/init.d/vmware start > By the way the last one will load modules, if you have it. >

Try reinstalling VMware Workstation. > I've tried reinstalling several time but the message persists. vmware-workstation 6.5.3 wants vmmon 209, which is vmware-modules-10.0.0.25 vmware-workstation 6.5.2 wants vmmon 208, which is vmware-modules- 10.0.0.24-r1 So, what version of vmware-workstation and vmware-modules you have installed? And how?
that explains it. I was installing 6.5.2 not .3 Once I've upgraded everything is fine. thanks (In reply to comment #39) > (In reply to comment #38) > > some progress... > > I've recompiled vmware-modules as you've suggested.
