Worked fine with 2.6.22-4 here. AMD Turion (K7) if that helps. I run
Testing.

Hi all.

I'm running VMWare Server (released free as the Player) with
2.6.22-3-686 (Centrino Duo) on lenny/sid.

To build correctly the modules , i use the "vmware-any-any-update",
that is a tool released by the VMware developer (u can find ez with
google).

Anyway, i'm starting to use VirtualBox OpenSource Edition, that is
available also in Debian repository and has no problem with modules.

Regards,
M

I have VMware running under 2.6.22


The only issue I usually have is that in testing the version of the compiler and compiler
version the OS was compiled under sometimes get out of sync. I usually compile my
own kernel to guarantee everything matches for the VMware compile.
