|
|
I'm actually using 2.6.11-rc3 with Con Kolivas' ck1 patchset, so YMMV, but this might apply to other new kernels as well.
vmware-config.pl fails to work with this kernel and the current vmware-workstation ebuild.
Edit the ebuild thus -
cd /usr/portage/app-emulation/vmware-workstation
edit vmware-workstation-4.5.2.8848-r2.ebuild
go to row 12 and change it to ANY_ANY="vmware-any-any-update89", i.e. change the 88 at the end to 89.
run
Code: | ebuild vmware-workstation-4.5.2.8848-r2.ebuild digest |
emerge vmware-workstation
run /opt/vmware/bin/vmware-config.pl amd it should now work.
I'll file a bug report on this so hopefully the fix will get into portage. _________________ Jingle Jangle Jewellery |
