VMware – Fix for Kernel 4.2..?

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on August 1, 2015 by RGAugust 1, 2015

Thanks to craigacgomez on the VMware Forum, there is a hack to fix VMware (vmnet) with Kernel 4.2..  https://communities.vmware.com/thread/516196 I made some more changes, to make it backward-compatible, and it seems to work OK with Kernels 4.1.3 and 4.2-rc4.. I should emphasize that I am an amateur at such things, but if you want to try this, … Continue reading →

3.19 Final – NVIDIA and (Patched) VMware OK..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on February 10, 2015 by RGFebruary 10, 2015

Updated the test system to Kernel 3.19 ‘final’, and – as expected – the latest NVIDIA (346.35) and VMware 11.0 (with the vmnet patch..) compile and boot/load OK.. Quite a lot of changes from -rc7, and some reverted..  More details here : http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1502.1/00199.html $ uname -a Linux rg6830l 3.19.0 #1 SMP Mon Feb 9 14:53:53 PST 2015 … Continue reading →

Kernel 3.19-rc6 – Good News for NVIDIA..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on January 27, 2015 by RGJanuary 27, 2015

Updated to Kernel 3.19-rc6 on the test system, and – at last – the problem with NVIDIA driver GPL inconsistency has been fixed, and now driver 346.35 compiles and loads OK.. Details of changes since -rc5 are here:   http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1501.3/00776.html And the important change is that /arch/x86/mm/init.c now has EXPORT_SYMBOL(__cachemode2pte_tbl) instead of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(__cachemode2pte_tbl)..etc.. VMware 11 – with the … Continue reading →

VMware – Backward-Compatible 3.19 Fix..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on January 23, 2015 by RGJanuary 23, 2015

After the solution to the Kernel 3.19/vmnet problem mentioned in previous posts, I have produced a fix that includes tests for kernel versions, and works with Kernel 3.19 and with earlier kernel versions.. This is probably not the most elegant code, but it works – I have tested it with VMware 11.0 and Kernels 3.19-rc5 and 3.18.3 … Continue reading →

VMware 11 – OK with Kernel 3.17 and 3.18..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on December 2, 2014 by RGDecember 2, 2014

Just upgraded to VMware Workstation 11.0, and – as expected – it compiles and loads/runs OK with Kernel 3.17 (3.17.4) and 3.18 (3.18-rc7) without the need for any patches.. Release notes are here:  https://www.vmware.com/support/ws/doc/workstation-11-release-notes.html I have not – yet – had a chance to test functionality with a Linux guest, especially with regard to shared folders.. Robert … Continue reading →
