| Summary | 0006570: VMware Workstation Player inoperable after kernel update | ||||
| Description | VMware Workstation Player generally requires a recompile of modules vmmon and vmnet after a kernel update. After update today to kernel el9_4.x86_64, vmmon and vmnet could not be compiled, blocking any usage of VMware Player. Unable to resolve the recompile problem during basic troubleshooting, including removal and attempted re-installation of VMware Player. Log file of failed attempt attached for review. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Install or launch existing instance of VMware Workstation Player 17.5.1 after installation of kernel el9_4.x86_64. | ||||
| Additional Information | Dropping back to kernel el9_3.0.1.x86_64 on grub menu allowed successful re-installation of VMware Player, including vmmon/vmnet compilation and MOK registration per usual practices. | ||||

Hi Kimball, this is VMware's issue, they need to fix their DKMS modules, before they switched to DKMS based modules it was even worse, every new kernel version broke VMware Workstation, but yeah now it's just waiting for either VMware, to publish a new supported version, or https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules gets it supported before them, who provided fixes already before VMware provided the DKMS. But it's a fact that the new point release changed some stuff in the kernel ABI, which VMware Workstation uses. Cheers, lumarel |
