Support knowledgebase (mwalter_vmware_update_72)
Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 72
Kernel: Version 2.4.4

Symptom:

According to an updateprocess of SuSE Linux 7.1 to the version 7.2 concerning the full installation of all packages, an error message appears during the execution of the installationscript of VMware 'vmware-config.pl':

"The directory of kernel headers (version 2.4.3) does not match your running kernel (version 2.4.4-4GB). Consequently, even if the compilation of the module was successful, the module would not load into the running kernel."

Cause:

The required kernelsources weren't installed during the updateprocess.

Solution:

Please install the package 'kernel-source' with our administrationtool YaST/YaST2. If you're using YaST you can find it in the serie 'd', while YaST2 has it included under 'System-Environment/Kernel'.
