- initially I was having trouble finding the sources after upgrading to kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 - I could not install the nvidia driver or vmware module without the sources - I found that in the new kernel the sources were now in kernel- devel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 I did a test installing kernel-devel - nvidia driver is now able to install and it works fine - still having problems with vmware - vmware is able to build the kernel module now and install it - bridged networking won't enable - constantly failed state - also if vmware is installed I was unable to reboot the computer - the system would only work properly after I uninstalled vmware, net vmware networking components seem to conflict with the new kernel, or I may have corrupted settings somewhere that I haven't located yet. Current Problem: - So now my situation is that vmware can build the module - the module appears to install correctly - bridged networking fails to start - when I try to run vmware it says it is not configured correctly and that I have to run /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl - when I run it again it says the module is fine - when I try to restart the computer it fails to shutdown - it times out and just sits there - I can't see where it is failing because I am not getting to see the shutdown messages after upgrading the new kernel. - on boot up it continues to say that vmware bridged networking has failed or that vmware is not configured properly - I decided to try telinit 3 so I could see the shut down messages - the computer seems to be locking up on shutting down system logger - if I uninstall vmware the computer is able to reboot properly. I was wondering if anyone else was having a problem like this, I am thinking that there may be a corrupted file for the vmware configuration somewhere on the system. It may have resulted from my switching back and forth between kernels while I was trying to determine the issue with kernel-devel I do use rpm to install vmware, so I was able to use rpm to erase it too. I would appreciate any suggestions anyone may have. -- Gerald Thompson geraldlt@xxxxxxxxx
