Hi i am very new to CentOS. I obtain CentOS 5 on dvd, and have made successful install. When installing vmware server 1.0.2 i found there is problem with different kernel version name:
$uname -r
Return 2.6.18-8.el5xen, but on system i have.
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-8.1.1.el5-i686
I search the net, and find this is a problem in CentOS 5, but did not find any solution for this. Can you show me the way for this. Thank you veru much Pavel SRB
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Has anyone tried VMware Server 1.2 under CentOS 5?

Install the corresponding kernel-devel package for your xen kernel.
Ralph
Thank you Ralph
after i done
#yum install kernel-xen-devel.i686
it returns
Transaction Check Error: package kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-8.1.1.el5 (which is newer than kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-8.el5) is already installed
does it mean that i have to use rpm package instead of yum installer ? (i feel i am little bit lost now)
i already have in /usr/src/kernels
2.6.18-8.1.1.el5-i686 2.6.18-8.1.1.el5-xen-i686 2.6.18-8.1.1.el5xen-i686

The problem is that not
#uname -r 2.6.18-8.el5xen

And does one of those reflect the version of your running kernel?

Ok Ralph. I was little bit confused with all the kernel stuff, but it is working now.
After reboot there was kernel 2.6.18-8.el5xen . Installation went ok, but as Sean Brown warned me, i should have not used Xen. The reason was that the new virtual machine was not able to start due 'The process exited with an error'. So i have removed xen kernel and use kernel 2.6.18-8.1.1.el5. Run vmware config again, and start vmware server. Now i am installing my first virtual machine - Debian 40r0-i386.
thank you very much Ralph and Sean

Update your kernel then? Or reboot if you already updated the kernel?
Q: Why is top posting bad?

Well, it is something like this as I have understood during my Internet time. In general, in emails usually top posting is used, in newsgroups and discussion lists usually bottom posting is used. Of course, nothing is written in stone, so, in any case, do as locals do. :-)

I have only seen it in emails where Exchange/Outlook/AOL are used heavily. In the days before these abominations crawled forth from the bowels of Moria.. bottom posting was pretty normal.

Moria ... Jabberwocky ... WOW
My literary knowledge is being tested while I do all this work too ... thanks Smooge :D

We actually recommend the "Interleaved text" method of quoting in the CentOS lists:
http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/2000/06/14/quoting.html
But ... certainly bottom posting is better than top posting on the CentOS lists:
http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html
We have links to those and other resources that pertain to the CentOS mailing lists on the CentOS website (to hopefully explain why we think that way):

Thanks, Johnny Hughes
At first i am sorry, i was trying to follow already open thread but by some mistake i have open a new one.
Now about the Centos. When vmware server 1.0.2 first time show me the problem with C header , i made
yum update yum install kernel-devel

Has anyone tried VMware Server 1.2 under CentOS 5?
CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
I don't know what your requirements are, but I got VMWare Player 1.0.3 (latest version) working on CentOS. If they are from a similar time in the overall VMWare revision history, server 1.2 should be a good bet for you.

The 2nd hit when you google for "vmware".

Oh. (Duh)
Does anyone have a comparison between VMWare Player and VMWare Server, or does the former replace the latter? I looked at the sites but saw nothing to clarify this (and may have missed in in my haste...).
Thanks.

I think vmware does.

No, they are completely different products. The player is there to play prebuilt VMs. The Server is there to act as a virtualiziation solution for SOHOs or for development.

Then don't haste.

To a degree... The big different is that vmware player is a client desktop virtualization product, and Server is, well, a Server side virtualization tool.. On VMWare's site, they don't compete At All, so are not compared to each other.

Quite!

Aha. Thanks. My bad.

Now where's the fun in that?
Foo.
(Okay, advice well-taken. :-)

The fun would be in helping the original poster with their issue instead of getting side-tracked because you can't be bothered to take a minute or two to learn the difference in some common-place applications applications. If it were something obscure I'd probably be a bit more tolerant.
(Okay, advice well-taken. :-)
Good to hear.

I thought it was that he was running the xen kernel instead of the standard one.

Ah, thanks. Then the fix is probably just installing the correct kernel and kernel-devel followed by rebooting?

Player is intended to run prebuilt canned VM's which were built from VMWare Workstation or GSX/ESX Server.
Server lets you install your own VM guest OS's but doesn't have the export/import functionality

Player runs one VM with the display connected to the host display and can't create new VMs. Server runs one or more VMs with a separate console viewer that can be connected remotely or not at all, and it includes the ability to create and install new VMs. VMs created in the server can also be run under player and downloaded VMs will work in either.
