host windows xp sp2
vmware workstation 551
guest mepis 343rc3
to install vmware tools on 343rc3 (2.6.15-1-586tsc) I followed the vmware installer refuses to compile against kernel headers that do not match the version.
so I downloaded kernel 2.6.15.1 from kernel.org
as root
extracted it to /usr/src/linux-2.6 ....
symlinked that as /usr/src/linux
cd /usr/src/linux
make oldconfig
make
..... now version.h is generated
ctrl-c
edited /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h
to place there the exact name of my kernel version
that did the trick,
now I could run the vmware installer that compiled succesfully, and the modules did load fine.
enjoy!

I can compile driver, but the module driver can't load !!!
