All,

I upgrade gentoo-sources to 2.6.26 a few days ago and just noticed
that vmware-server doesn't play nice with the new kernel.

I've seen bug ID 227303, but haven't been successful in patching
vmware-server as some of the comments in the bug indicate.

Anyone been able to get vmware-server to work with the new kernel?

Neither does the vmware-workstation from pportage, but there's a later
version available from VMware, and that works with 2.6.26 for me. Or you
could try the vmware overlay.

Just when you got it all figured out: An UPGRADE!

From what I've read the latest version of vmware-server (2.0, which is
in beta and not yet in portage) is buggy enough to be unstable.

...or were you talking about VMware workstation?

I was referring to workstation, but there may be an update for server,
not necessarily the latest beta.

Interchangeable parts aren't.

vmware-workstation-6.0.4.93057?

Yes, there's a problem with the vmblock module.
