Re: Re: Problems trying to recompile the Linux Kernel 64 bits on Knoppix 6.7
Hi Ming-Ching Tiew,
Please accept my apologies for the delay in my response, I have been traveling last week.
I already use successfully the 2.6.39 patch on Knoopix 6.7 for the VMware tools (Knoppix inside a vm)
but the 2.6.39 patch to install VMware workstation inside a Knoppix 6.7 host does not work
on my Sandy Bridge 2600K system (even though it works just fine on previous Intel processors)
Best Regards,
Gilles

If you look hard enough someone has already posted a patch for it. I am currently running vmplayer 3.1.4 on Linux 3.0.2 kernel. :) When vmplayer starts up, it will warn that the kernel is too new. But I haven't encounter any problem with it.

Not much of a point compiling the modules for virtualbox on 64 bit OS. The 32bit version of virtualbox won't run on 64bit kernel ( unlike vmware ). You will have to setup a jail for a true 64bit libraries/supporting apps to run 64 bit virtualbox on 64bit kernel. The work and effort is a lot. In the end, better install it on a full 64 bit OS.
