VMWare Server 1.x unter Linux 2.6.29++

Der Post ist nicht von mir – ich will ihn nur sichern, für den Fall, dass dem VMWare Forum etwas passiert

Original Post: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/205686;jsessionid=C50117EC1C1CE84BC340CCD7C13FC4EA?start=15&tstart=0

For those who may stumble into this thread by a search and wonder what the „final“ state of affairs was:

1) Yes, you can run VMware Server v1.0.9 on kernels 2.6.29 and 2.6.30 (at least to 2.6.30.6).
2) Yes, if you are running 2.6.29 or 2.6.30 your kernel MUST have the „export-init_mm“ patch.
3) No, the patch doesn’t work on 2.6.31.
4) Make sure „Enable unused/obsolete exported symbols“ is turned on under the kernel’s „Kernel hacking“ section.
5) Yes, you must apply a 3rd party (non-VMware) patch to VMware Server. I used http://www.insecure.ws/warehouse/vmware-update-2.6.29-5.5.9-3.tar.bz2 (MD5 8b5da10ece0ecbe5e0227ca081e65ec1, attached). It includes the kernel patch BUT DOES NOT apply it, that is YOUR job.

cd /opt/vmware
tar xjvf vmware-update-2.6.29-5.5.9-3.tar.bz2
cd $KERNELSOURCE
patch -p1 < /opt/vmware/vmware-update-2.6.29-5.5.9-3/2.6.29-export-init_mm.patch
make
cd vmware-update-2.6.29-5.5.9
./runme.pl

I am not affiliated with VMware. It seems that VMware has largely abandoned Server v1.0.x. I remain hopeful that some bright person with some C and kernel experience will sit down with the v1.0.9 module code and develop a PROPER patch, one that does not require any kernel modifications and that uses the newer kernel interfaces as appropriate.
