Hello folks,
"vmware-modconfig --install-all" fails to install all modules. I attempted to patch vmmon.tar and vmnet.tar in /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/, as per https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VMware#Kernel_modules_fail_to_build_after_Linux_4.6
# cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source # tar xf vmmon.tar # mv vmmon.tar vmmon.old.tar # sed -i 's/uvAddr, numPages, 0, 0/uvAddr, numPages, 0/g' vmmon-only/linux/hostif.c # tar cf vmmon.tar vmmon-only # rm -r vmmon-only # tar xf vmnet.tar # mv vmnet.tar vmnet.old.tar # sed -i 's/addr, 1, 1, 0/addr, 1, 0/g' vmnet-only/userif.c # tar cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only # rm -r vmnet-only
Didn't help. Neither did an older patch for Workstation 12.1 on kernel 4.6.0-1: Re: Workstation 12.1 does not compile on kernel 4.6.0-1
Tail of messages from vmware-modconfig with DEFAULT (installer-provided) vmmon.tar and vmnet.tar - I've also attached the complete log:
