3.13-rc1 – Mostly Harmless?
Just updated the test system to kernel 3.13-rc1, and VMware 10.0.1 and NVIDIA drivers 331.20 and 319.72 all compile OK..
# uname -a
Linux rg6830l 3.13.0-rc1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 22 23:48:06 GMT 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Very brief details of changes, here: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1599956 (scroll down, to get to the ‘list’..)
Update: The NVIDIA driver compiles OK, but – apparently – does not load/run when X starts.. Thanks to Milos_SD on the DevZone forum, there is more information on this, and a possible workaround.. https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/644906/linux/331-20-on-3-13-rc1-kernel/

If you need my quick&dirty vmnet patch for the 3.13 kernel you can find it here:

Thanks for the link and info.. Which version of VMware is this patch for?
I have VMware 10.0.1 compiled and running (including vmnet) with kernel 3.13-rc1 (from kernel.org), without any patches.
