Hi, working with Vmware is always a pain every kernel release it has problem, I suggest to you try other Virtualization Platform:
- gnome-boxes (installed by default)
- qemu
- kvm
- libvirt
- virtualbox.
You can find more info here → Redirect Notice
How to begin on it…
First try to install
sudo dnf install kernel-devel kernel-headers gcc gcc-c++ make
and start again… If this doesn’t works is a configuration problem… see my comment…
COMMENT
The problem here is always the same vmnet and vmmon doesn’t start well or doesn’t start at all, find a PATCH deal with changes in vmmon.c and vmnet.c because something breaks or add some parameters to that files or modify and IF, I suggest to you follow this Step:
- know what is your kernel version?:
uname -r. - know your Vmware version or install the latest if you don’t have it, this don’t guarantee that you don’t find any issues.
- Try to find the PATCH for a specific KERNEL version and Vmware.
- You have to deal with sources (vmnet and vmmon) and apply fixed in both of them.
- Try to find the fix for the specific product Vmware and Kernel version, other fix that works before don’t guarantee to resolve your problem…
Regards.,
