VMware Workstation 10 and Knoppix 7.2.0
Hi Capricorny,
Yes, the kernel modules of VMware 10 (for both the workstation hypervisor and the Linux tools)
are much better and do compile without problem with the kernel 3.9.6 of Knoppix 7.2.0.
I just regret that Vmware removed the video recording option from the workstation menus.
Best Regards,
Gilles

I gave up the efforts to get Workstation 8.1 to run on 7.2.0.
Knoppix 7.3.0 "universal" minirt_730.gz init ram disk
Hello,
After finding out that the knoppix-terminalserver of Knoppix 7.3.0
is rejecting the 64bits config because different kernel modules
need to be loaded, I modified the init script to fix this issue and
created some kind of a "universal" minirt.gz replacement which
can be used for all boot configuration: normal cd/dvd boot,
usb boot, hdd boot (including from ntfs), pxe boot (nfs or smb),...
I also added some other very useful modules when running under
virtualisation like vmware: BusLogic.ko mptbase.ko mptscsih.ko
mptspi.ko and of course the ptp.ko pps_core.ko besides all the
network 32 and 64 bits kernel modules for the pxe network boot.
Best Regards,
Gilles
