vmware 17.6 :: modules version mismatch #278

Hyphaed · 2024-09-03T13:10:27Z

Official installation doesn't have compatibility with vmware 17.6 + kernel 6.11

I'm getting this error when using last @mkubecek files >>

Version mismatch with vmmon module: expecting 417.0, got 416.0.
You have an incorrect version of the 'vmmon' kernel module.
Try reinstalling VMware Workstation.

me, too with kernel 6.10.7

marplusz · 2024-09-03T20:11:17Z

Linux fedora 6.10.6-200.fc40.x86_64. It compiled without errors.

git clone -b workstation-17.5.2-k6.9+ https://github.com/nan0desu/vmware-host-modules.git 
cd vmware-host-modules
make
sudo make install

Chaz6 · 2024-09-04T07:46:48Z

Linux fedora 6.10.6-200.fc40.x86_64. It compiled without errors.

Whilst it compiles fine, if you try to run a virtual machine, the error appears:-

Version mismatch with vmmon module: expecting 417.0, got 416.0

Chaz6 · 2024-09-04T07:52:42Z

With this patch I was able to boot a Fedora 40 vm to desktop running on a Fedora 40 host. YMMV!

@Chaz6 When i tried your patch, i wasn't able to boot Centos nor windows 10. However, i was able to boot windows server 2012

talp1 · 2024-09-04T13:14:35Z

Hi @Chaz6, your patch works for me to start Win10 (host Fedora 40 fully update)

Thanks

rickychii · 2024-09-05T09:08:46Z

Thanks @Chaz6 your patch is working good also for me. My host is Linux Lite 7.0 on Kernel 6.8.

stueyschnauzer · 2024-09-05T20:10:38Z

I just tried the above patch on my debian trixie (12+) with kernel 6.10.6-amd64 and everything builds, but when I attempt to open a known good working vmware guest (win 11) I get:

A broken pipe. So it seems that the issue is deeper than just a simple version control edit. Since Broadcom has moved everything over to their new support site, I am going to guess that Mike may have issues putting together a new release. Any ideas of other ways to get this fixed?

MrSilverstrings · 2024-09-06T04:29:54Z

Same problem for me on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS. Compiling is fine though.

rakotomandimby · 2024-09-06T07:47:58Z

Did you all try with the stock VMware modules?
For 17.6, I didnt have to compile from the modules of this repository:

@rakotomandimby
you are on Kernel 6.6

we are talking about 6.10 and 6.11

rakotomandimby · 2024-09-06T08:26:15Z

@Hyphaed , you are right.

But I think the purpose of this repository is to be tried if the vmware workstation embeded code fails.

So at least, a few people should try the embeded ones.

rakotomandimby · 2024-09-06T10:39:45Z

@Chaz6 ,

Just for curiosity, I compared stock vmware vmmon-only and vmnet-only with those of the branch workstation-17.5.1.

We can see that the fix you proposed is already bundled by VMware

So, for this specific problem , building from stock vmware vmmon-only and vmnet-only would have been OK.

My guess is there must be a catchup of what is bundled by VMWare.

Cc @mkubecek

stueyschnauzer · 2024-09-06T18:37:55Z

Again, I am on debian with kernel 6.10.6 and trying to run workstation 17.6.0.

I just tried using this repo instead, where they had patched for 17.5.2 https://github.com/bytium/vm-host-modules.git

Then I patched +#define VMMON_VERSION (417 << 16 | 0)

VMware had already fixed a few of the earlier reported issues with defines.

Everything built and installed. Workstation starts with no complaints. But when I try to launch a vm, there is still a broken pipe and the vm fails to run.

This exhaust my skills in trying to fix this. Need a pro like mkubecek or bytium to make mods. Till then I will just wait.

jusefn · 2024-09-07T17:40:50Z

I have created a Gist with the relevant patches needed to get the modules compile and work with the latest VMware, using the source provided by VMware/Broadcom located in /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/
https://gist.github.com/jusefn/0157a91c95a12e017ee8b7e79514eb5f

Booted up Windows 11 and seems to work fine. (Kernel 6.10.7, Fedora Workstation 40)

Thank you dkchi-001, DaRandomCube, and jusefn. I am still getting

Debian trixie with kernel 6.10.6 and ws 17.6.0

Deinstall WS entirely, including configuration
Reinstall WS fresh
Copy vmnet.tar and vmmon.tar from /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/ to ~/Downloads/vmwaremods
Moved /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar and vmmon.tar to .sav files
Detared files in my working directory
Applied patches from jusefn to both vmmon and vmnet
Tared up both patched source
Move new tar files to /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/
Ran vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
Everything installs and builds correctly
Modules show loaded in lsmod
Launch a small debian iso test file newly built. Pipe broken and cannot start
Launch known good win 11 vm, same broken pipe.

So it looks like the patches do not fix for my specific kernel which is the current version in Debian Trixie. I will investigate some more. Thanks for all your efforts.

Patched vmmon.tar and vmnet.tar is as follows: vmmon.tar.zip vmnet.tar.zip If you use this files, please backup original vmmon.tar and vmnet.tar.

You are a lifesaver!!! I was searching everywhere for the new version. I guess Kub is running behind schedule...
I don't understand why VMware won't fix this...It has been years.

thank you again so much. you saved my life. I rely on vmware on linux for work. I keep saying I am going to move to another platform but I am thinking of just moving my host-OS back to windows. It isn't worth the constant linux headaches anymore...
