Subject: VMWare on 2.6.25 kernel
Print | View thread | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author

The original vmware-any-any-116.tgz  as provided here (modified from some
other unknown source as any-any-115) has now just been modified so as to
compile on 2.6.25 Linux Kernel.   Compilation was successful, except for the
last part, when it tried to insmod in my kernel, and init_mm symbol is
missing.

Looking at:

./arch/x86/kernel/init_task.c:
struct mm_struct init_mm = INIT_MM(init_mm);
EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL(init_mm); /* will be removed in 2.6.26 */

SInce EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL() is depending on CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS being
define:

Therefore, the solution is to edit the .config file in the current linux
kernel download:

change the following to "y":

# CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS is not set

And recompile the Linux kernel.   After that 117.tgz should proceed
successfully.

Please download and test it if u are interested....thanks.
