RE: Help to get VmWare run!!
I am running "Linux saidin 2.6.14.3 #1 SMP Sat Dec 10 11:17:02 EST 2005
x86_64 GNU/Linux" on an ASUS A8V-Deluxe+Wifi + AMD64 3800+ x2.
I went through similar problems trying to get GSX 3.2 running. Here is my
"quick list" of steps that got me working in case I have to do it again:
. Get AnyAny update
. install ia32-libs
. install ia32 base Debian to /emul/ia32-linux (chroot location) using
debootstrap
. install GSX
. update /etc/pam.d/vmware-authd to point to the /emul/ia32-linux libs
directory (otherwise authentication via vmware-authd won't work)
My main stumbling point was not using debootstrap to set up a full ia32
chroot (ie. ia32-libs is not enough). Once I had done this, compiling the
vmware kernel modules and running vmware wasn't a problem. I followed the
instructions in
https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html
for running debootstrap.
Cheers
Michael

you would most likely need to run vmware in a proper chroot the other
problem is kernel modules, im not sure if they work for 64bit kernels.
