| Anyone know where we are supposed to file bug reports for the vmware overlay? I just tried upgrading the newest vmware-modules from the vmware overlay and it doesn't build with gentoo-sources 2.6.36-r1 because of some (seemingly old) patches. I commented those out and it built fine, but I'd like to notify the package dev about the issue. |

No need for the overlay anymore. vmware and vmware-modules are now in main portage.
There may be a fetch restriction on vmware.
Make sure you reboot with your new kernel before trying to rebuild the modules against the kernel.
Also make sure you have Virtualisation disabled in the kernel. |

| Only the older versions (6 & below) are in portage. I just upgraded to vmware-workstation 7. It and the newest required modules are only in the vmware overlay. |

It looks like the maintainer fixed it. Unfortunately, his fix introduced a file size mismatch issue.

platojones: Which patches did you disable?

The new ebuild has these disabled:
| Code: | #epatch "${FILESDIR}/apic.patch"
#kernel_is ge 2 6 35 && epatch "${FILESDIR}/iommu_map.patch"
#kernel_is ge 2 6 35 && epatch "${FILESDIR}/sk_sleep.patch" |

Thanks, that answered my question. It looks like people are using gentoo bugzilla to report issues with the vmware overlay.
playmiac,
Yep, those are the 2 is I commented out as well (since they were the ones that caused the build to fail). I just created a 238.3-r0 ebuild in my local overlay and commented those 2 patches out. It built fine and it's been rock solid since then. Looks like all he needs to do is fix the file size issue and it's all sorted out. |
