Latest kernels and VMWare
The last couple of kernels (2396 & 2401) create a problem with the
vmware-config.pl script. It seems the 2.6.18 kernel mods have changed where
the definition of "UTS_RELEASE" is stored. It used to be in version.h, now
it is in utsrelease.h. Manually adding "#include utsrelase.h" to the
version.h file gets me past this problem. It caused vmware to not be able
to find the proper kernel include files. One I get past this problem vmmon
build fine, but building vmnet aborts with "unknown symbol
'lockdep_init_map'". I guess this is some new kernel thing. Does anyone
know how to get around this error? I like to test vmware and ntfs for each
new kernel release.
