Hi all,
I'm trying to run windows XP through fedora in Virtual machine server v.2. While compiling the modules I got an minor error but I ignored it. I don't want to start the process again. I typed #rmmod. etc and edited the configuration file from terminal.
Still facing this error.
Please help! Thanks.

VM Server v.2 failed on fedora!
Sorry to say but you'll have to do everything once again by following this:
-
Download desired VMWare Server in .tar.gz and unzip it.
-
Browse to your unpacked directory and execute VMware-install.pl.
-
If the installation / compilation stops with any error or Popup then get VM Server Modules and unzip the same in the previously unzipped directory i. e. from which you had executed VMware-install.pl.
-
Now execute vmserver-xxxxxx-modules-xxxxx-fix.sh.
-
Then delete this folder/ directory /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary.
-
Re-execute vmware-config.pl.
-
Now you’ll be able to have running VM Ware.
In case of any error, you’ll have to repeat the whole procedure and do the following manually:-
Delete all VMware Modules by using:
-
rm -rf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/Â or
-
rm -rf /lib/modules/xxxxxxxxx-server/misc/vm
Incase vmware-config.pl terminates due to any reason manually terminate all VM ware processes.
-
kill -9 $( ps -ef | awk '/vm/ { print $2 }' )
Start from the scratch and if it asks to do anything with “/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl“ just reject it with no. Execute the VMware modules patch and then /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl.
