The (patched) VMware 15.5.6\u00a0 vmmon\/vmnet<\/strong> modules compile OK, and the latest NVIDIA driver 450.57<\/strong> compiles and runs OK.<\/p>\n

However….\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I cannot upgrade my main systems, as the catastrophic VMware runtime reboot still occurs, as mentioned in previous articles:<\/p>\n
