My mistake on the lack of details.
I am attempting to use the tar.gz format of the vmware server
1.0.6.91891. To be exact, the install works, it's the configuration
that aborts at the vmmon creation step.
Yes, I ran into this on F9 x86_64. I'm using the RPMs from VMWare. I
had to go out and get the latest vmware-any-any-update. I think I found
version for 116, 117, and 117a. In order to get it running on my laptop.
I tried a new test and found the following:
1. On a machine running the 32-bit version of Fedora 9 on a
Intel Pentium 4 and 2-GB RAM the complete install and configuration
works correctly.
2. On a machine running the 64-bit version of Fedora 8 on a AMD
Athlon x2 5600+ and 4-GB RAM the configuration fails at the vmmon
creation step.
My laptop came with VMWare already configured on FC6, but as the kernel
updates came out, I had to get the any-any-updates to keep it running.
When I upgraded to F9, it became a bigger problem. It was solved by
applying the vmware-any-any-update117a.tar.gz over the
VMWare-server-1.0.6-91891.i386.rpm installation. Yes, on an x86_64
system. Works just fine right now (except my VMWare tools are out date).
I have no way to test this on a 64-bit Intel to see if that makes a
difference, nor can I upgrade the Fedora 8 machine to Fedora 9 (it's
running Oracle 11g, Fedora-DS, plus other stuff).
I stopped runing VMWare on i386 when I updated to F9, so I have no way
to run it on i386 anymore. My F8 server is an i386 running an AMD 2600+
CPU, but I don't run VMWare on it. I run VMWare only on my F9 laptop.
I will attempt to remove all of the vmware and attempt a re-install and
capture the exact error. I will then report back here.
Google for the vmware-any-any-update tars.
Thanks,
Gene Poole
