Hi,
I've been testing with GSX 3.2 and ESX Server and I have this issue that is greatly bugging me.
I'm unable to get the vmxnet adapter working with GSX. It simply won't compile during the installation.
I've tried the following:
\- Installed Debian Sarge with the 2.6 kernel.
\- Installed the vmware tools package.(no errors except the tainted kernel message) and this:
make:Entering directory '/tmp/vmware-config0/vmhgfs-only'
make:Leaving directory '/tmp/vmware-config0/vmhgfs-only'[/b]
(Does -only mean, I couldn't detect the rest so I'll only create vmhgfs?)
\- powered off the machine, changed my nic to vmxnet
\- powered on the machine and ran /usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl
\- only the vmhgfs module is build
No vmxnet driver..well ok back to my snapshot.
\- now I FIRST changed my VM to use the vmxnet adapter
\- powered on
\- installed the vmware tools package NO errors but again no errors but no vmxnet adapter compiled
I read some posts about the 2.6 kernel giving problems with the vmx driver so I created a brand new VM and installed Debian with the 2.4[/b] kernel and repeated the same steps..still no vmxnet driver that is compiled. (I also have this during the build:
make:Entering directory '/tmp/vmware-config0/vmhgfs-only'
make:Leaving directory '/tmp/vmware-config0/vmhgfs-only'[/b]
The odd thing about this is, is that when I installed Debian in my ESX environment, the vmxnet adapter IS[/b] compiled during installation. (the order of adding vmxnet adapter doesn't matter) so I know I'm doing it correctly..
Any tips/hints to this annoying issue..?
Many thanks in advance
