VMware on Linux 2.6 kernels

This document will describe setting up a SuSE 9.1 or Debian Sarge Linux box running 2.6 kernel which upon loading X will start VMWare in full screen mode. Other than the Linux boot portion, the goal is to make Linux as transparent as possible to the user. Same configuration fully covers the Red Hat Enterprise Server 3 as well.

Visit www.vmware.com and download the latest rpm package (VMware-workstation-4.5.1-7568.i386.rpm) and then install it by running the command rpm -Uvh VMware-workstation-4.5.1-7568.i386.rpm. Version might be different as this document is written in 2006.

For Debian users you will need to download the source file. Uncompress that by using the following command:

tar -xvf filename.tar.gzip --gzip and then run as a root the vmware-install.pl file by invoking the command ./vmware-install.pl.

Run VMWare by invoking the command /usr/bin/vmware. If you have problems related to module, download from http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/ the latest version of vmware-any-any-update. Unpack the file and execute the file runme.pl by typing ./runme.pl as root.

Follow the instructions and you are almost done.

Open the Vmware by invoking the command /usr/bin/vmware and make a new virtual machine using the wizard. In order to install any guest Operating System you must enable "Legacy emulation" for that drive in the Virtual Machine
Settings otherwise you won't be able to install it.

Notice: it seems that after the latter kernel security update of Suse 9.1 the new kernel creates a new directory
/usr/src/linux-obj/ so it is necessary to perform the appropriated simbolic links in the directory /usr/src/linux for the executables

scripts/genksyms/genksyms -> /usr/src/linux-obj/i386/smp/scripts/genksyms/genksyms

modpost -> /usr/src/linux-obj/i386/smp/scripts/modpost

(smp in my case, for most cases it must be default)

and also
Module.symvers -> /usr/src/linux-obj/i386/smp/Module.symvers

there is a need to install kernel-syms package.
