Re: [TCLUG:9380] VMWare 1.1.1

[Peter Lukas <peter@math.umn.edu>]

You'll have to verify that you really are running the smp kernel package.
Also, since RH dists a generic kernel package, it's possible the source
tree and includes are from the non-smp kernel build.  The kernel modules
themselves and other kernel-version dependant apps may explicitly require
the traditional kernel versioning (rather than RedHat's reinvention of
kernel version behavior).  
VMWare modules build fine against 2.2.12-20 in Rh 6.1 for me (non smp).
Maybe you ought to try upgrading to another kernel package (or rolling
your own). The VA-experience I've had in the past is they use moldified RH
dists (not unlike mandrake) for their hardware.
