I'm sorry, but Fedora can't fix this. You should contact VMWare for which PBM (whatever that is) is suitable for a 3.0 kernel (2.6.40 is 3.0 rebranded). Perhaps they can help you with your issue. Is this error related to the devel-kernel package needing updated on my cpu? DECLARE_MUTEX’ declared ‘static’ but never defined static DECLARE_MUTEX(registrationMutex); This is crazy. Does Redhat even do testing with at least one of the major windows emulator packages. both Vmware and Virtual Box will not work under this new kernel. You should really do SOME test since so many enterprise level users utilize redhat over light daily users like the ones you find with Ubuntu. Enterprise or corporate users often use a vmware or like product for corporate required packages. There were several deprecated kernel calls removed in the latest FE kernel. This was planned for some time by the Fedora Project but VMware did not remove these from their products thus the compile issues. Go to this link below and download the .pdf file, change it to a .tar and overwrite all of the directories in /tmp/vmware/sources. Then repack the tarballs followed by the compile all vmware commmand. To download the patch click the "modules" link from this website http://osicarg.wordpress.com/2011/07/15/here-is-patch-for-vmware-player-3-1-4-build-385536-on-linux-2-6-39-2-amd64-kernel/ cd /tmp/vmware/source \cp -fRv [your download dir]/vmblock-only . \cp -fRv [your download dir]/vmci-only . \cp -fRv [your download dir]/vmmon-only . \cp -fRv [your download dir]/vmnet-only . \cp -fRv [your download dir]/vsock-only . tar cvf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon.tar vmmon-only tar cvf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmblock.tar vmblock-only tar cvf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vsock-only.tar vsock-only tar cvf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmci.tar vmci-only tar cvf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar vmnet-only vmware-modconfig --console --install-all |
