Anyone have VMware Workstation or Player 17.5.1 or 17.5.2 working on the
6.9.* kernels? The kernel modules from VMware haven't worked in quite a
while. They don't compile for the 6.9.* kernels, and, if I'm remembering
correctly, they don't compile when running the 6.8.* kernels either.
I have the code for vmnet and vmmon from
https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/tree/workstation-17.5.1.
There are all kinds of exceptions when the kernel modules are loaded at
boot time. I tried running vmplayer as a test -- it "ran" but trashed
the kernel and required hard reboots. One of the tests totally bricked
my laptop (that was fun to recover).
I'm currently running kernel 6.9.5-200.fc40.x86_64and all packages are
up to date. The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 7591, Core i7-10510U CPU, 16GB
of ram.
