    Hi expert all,

    I am using slackware 12.1 guest os in vmware 1.0.6 on win xp.

    I need minimalist slackware.. so that I have recompiled the kernel-2.6.24.5 for vmware devices and installed modules supplied by vmware that is vmmon and vmnet. Finally build the kernel packages using slackbuild script

    I am using below kernel packages

    kernel-2.6.24.5-headers-x86
    kernel-source-2.6.24.5_smp-noarch-2
    kernel-2.6.24.5-modules-i486

    I followed below ur for vmware kernel compilation, this url for gentoo but i adapted to slackware ..

    http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_Gentoo_on_VMware

    I have followed below url for vmware modules installation

    http://koo.fi/tech/2007/10/17/how-t...upported-kernel-and-the-vmware-any-any-patch/

    i followed below url for building packages for both modules and booting kernel,

    http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware_source/k/

    I am getting different error while trying every time

    version magic error

    FATAL: Error inserting vmnet (/vmmon.ko): invalid module format

    Please help me.. I am stucks on different error..

    thanks in advance:confused::confused:
