Greg:
Based on your msg re the /usr/src directory, I tried changing mine - I
changed the "linux" fiel to be a link to the "linux-2.2.17" directory,
extracted the 2.2.17 kernel archive (which should have extracted into
/usr/src/linux.....
What happened was that the archive extracted into /usr/src/linux,
changing the link file to be a directory. Did I do something wrong?
Perhaps I need a hard link rather than a soft link?
My directory now looks like (note - no link) -
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 18130021 Feb 8 20:44
kernel-source-2.2.17-14.i386.rpm

On the VMware side, each time you change the kernel, you need to run the
setup script again, it's modules have to be able to work with the
current kernel. When running the setup script, I got the following
msgs:
-----------------------
Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.
None of VMware's pre-built vmmon modules is suitable for your running
kernel. Do
you want this script to try to build the vmmon module for your system
(you need
to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is an existing directory, but it does
not
contain at least one of these directories "linux", "asm", "net" as
expected.
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
----------------------
What do the "linux", "asm" or "net" directories do? Are they header
directories?
I'm not sure if I'm combining header & source files correctly.....do
archives like
linux-2.2.17.tar.gz contain both header files & kernel source?
