kernel kernel 5.15.0-60 issues #191

Closed rkapoz-tech closed 1 year ago

rkapoz-tech commented 1 year ago

Hi, I just updated my linux kernel to 5.15.0-60 (UBUNTU 20.04), and when I try to perform "sudo make install" I receive this error:

Version mismatch: module vmmon-only/vmmon.ko 5.15.0-58-generic, kernel 5.15.0-60-generic install -D -t /lib/modules/5.15.0-60-generic/misc vmmon-only/vmmon.ko vmnet-only/vmnet.ko strip --strip-debug /lib/modules/5.15.0-60-generic/misc/vmmon.ko /lib/modules/5.15.0-60-generic/misc/vmnet.ko if test -z ""; then /sbin/depmod -a 5.15.0-60-generic; fi

at that time I'm unable to bring up vmware virtual machines :(

This error means that you are trying to install modules built against one kernel version for use with a different one. You must either run both make and make install without VM_UNAME (and with the same running kernel) or run both with the same value of VM_UNAME.

Another possible explanation is that you updated your kernel and tried to install modules built against an older version without rebuilding them first.

Either way, user problem, not a bug in the repository.
