VMware needs a modular kernel, OVH kernels are static though. That means you
will have to begin by recompiling your own kernel. Just take a kernel from
kernel.org and the configuration from
ftp://ftp.ovh.net/made-in-ovh/bzImag...xx-std-ipv4-32 (or -64,
depending on ewhat you want to use)

Then, install and boot that kernel, and only then you will be able to install
vmware properly.

Hi

I'm also experiencing this [exact same] problem, but I'm not sure how to go on about compiling a kernel. Can you point me in the right direction? Maybe to a guide or something? I was unable to find one which is clear enough for a newcomer :/

You can configure the partitioning when you reinstall via the Manager.

When I installed vmware 2.0 I tested with out the kernel and it worked fine, i did it with Fedora 8.

Just do:
cd /lib/modules
mkdir 2.6.24.5-xxxx-std-ipv4-32

I do not promise anything but it worked okay for me, so please test it first.

I change the kernel, and... Virtualbox is working now

I didn’t try that because i don’t had space to install vmware and kernel 3gb in / and 250 (+/-) in the home folder, and my account in the ovh manger doesn’t show the dedicate

didn't work, still gives the C header files error. anyone had any ideas ?

[freshwire]

Based on my experience here is what to do:

# sudo cd /home/linux-2.6.24.5-ovh/
# sudo cp /boot/config-2.6.24.5* .config
# sudo make

then supply the path /home/linux-2.6.24.5-ovh/include/ to vmware.

Once vmware is fully working you may delete the entire folder.

shoud i create a link to de folder in the usr/src/ ?

[derchris]

Then put them in your home directory.

I don’t have space to install the kernel... the server came with 3gb for linux files and the rest for the /home folder... any suggestion how to solve this ?
